Implement a ban on advertisements promoting sugary consumable items

Petition Details

Obesity is growing in the UK at an alarming rate among adults but also children. The lead cause of this is sugar found in foods and drinks, some of which are hidden. There should be more awareness about sugar in food and drink and bans on products that are leading the UK to an obesity epidemic.
