Advertising junk food to children - a podcast by BMJ Group

In the UK, junk food advertising is banned on children’s TV - but manufactures are still able to target children in other ways.  A recent report from the WHO  "Tackling food marketing to children in a digital world", takes a look at the issue.

In this podcast we're joined by João Breda, programme manager for nutrition physical activity and obesity at the regional office for Europe of the World Health Organisation, and Mimi Tatlow-Golden, lecturer in childhood studies and developmental psychology at the open university, and the lead author on the report.Read the full report:
