Stop Targeting Kids Petition

The Irish Heart Foundation is inviting everyone to sign their petition to stop junk food and drink brands deliberately targeting children behind their parents’ backs on social media.  One in four children in Ireland is obese or overweight.  However, slick marketing tactics by junk food brands help establish and encourage eating habits that cause obesity and can have lifelong and, sometimes, life-limiting health consequences.  The Irish Heart Foundation is asking government to end the daily bombardment of such adverts by regulating online and social media marketing, and extending the current broadcast ban to 9.00pm.  Find out more at: https://irishheart.ie/campaigns/stop-targeting-kids
