Scrap the incoming ban of all online promotion of junk food
I ask for the reversal of the incoming ban on all paid-for online promotion of “less healthy food and drink” products. We urge the government to consider less restrictive measures.
We believe the total ban in all paid-for online advertisement is a disproportionate and blunt measure that disproportionately harms SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) who rely on cost-effective, targeted digital ads to compete with large supermarkets. We think it is not an effective solution to obesity and threatens vital jobs and business growth across the UK.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
