The Facts
The UK Government has confirmed that, from Oct. 1, 2025, unhealthy food television advertisements before 9 pm and all online paid-for advertising will be banned.
The policies were part of Labour's 2024 election manifesto and are claimed by the government to be an attempt to address childhood obesity rates.
In a parliamentary statement, health minister Andrew Gwynne claimed that over one in five children in England are overweight or obese when entering primary school, while exposure to unhealthy food and drink advertisements "influences their dietary preferences."
The Spin
Keir Starmer's series of socialist nanny-state interventions on the public's health is an infringement on individual liberty and British values. Already fixated on banning smoking and energy drinks, the UK's Labour government's supposed bid to tackle child obesity seems less about reforming the NHS and more focused on dictating personal lifestyle choices.
