Introduce new broadcasting requirements for weight loss programming

Petition Details

It's a duty of our government to care for the populations mental and physical well-being. TV shows that promote unhealthy relationships with food and promoting a disordered lifestyle to eating can be damaging to peoples' mental and physical health and well-being.

Additional Information

The Government should limit the accessibility to watch these from people who are vulnerable to this type of content. Such as, trigger warnings before air, advertising helplines to eating disorder charities before and after airing, these shows to be shown only after the watershed. This should limit the effect these shows have on young people.
