Call to extend ban on food adverts
More than 100 diabetes experts are calling on the Government to introduce a law banning all forms of "unhealthy food" adverts targeting children.
The group said current restrictions on television advertising during children's programmes should extend to all adverts, including those in newspapers, magazines and on billboards, to stop an increase in the number of obese youngsters.
The group from across the UK also called for tighter regulations of the food, drink and catering industry following a meeting arranged by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
