Should junk food advertising be banned until 9 o’clock in the evening?


Should junk food be bannedIn the UK an organisation called Action on Junk Food Marketing has called for a ban on advertising of junk food until 9 o’clock in the evening.  The BBC have covered some of the issues in a recent post http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26665952

As reader of this blog may know I’m very interested in the relationship between diet and health so I was wondering what our readers thought about the subject.  Is it a “nudge” in the right direction or the “nanny state” gone out of control.

On another matter I’ve been trying to find a web site for Action on Junk Food Marketing.  If any one involved in Action on Junk Food Marketing has any links please put them in the comments box below.
