Legislate that weight-loss adverts are only permitted post-watershed.

Petition Details

Approximately 1.25 million people in the UK have an eating disorder*. It is difficult to watch daytime TV without viewing adverts telling people how to lose weight. This is not appropriate content for children, who internalize this narrative telling them that weight-loss is desirable.
