Good. I hope this includes services like JustEat and Domino’s. Not only are the ads fucking annoying, they also fetishise food in a way that is pathologically unhealthy and drives habits.
We talk about people having unrealistic body types on TV, but never about unrealistic food.

How many kids see adverts on TV anymore? When everything is streamed online?
It came to me before Christmas when I asked my 5 year old what he wanted for Christmas. He had no idea. I would have had a list as long as my arm but then I realised he doesn’t see toy adverts like I used to when watching TV as a kid.

Can still advertise alcohol and gambling though, those things have no negative impact on health at all right?
