Stricter advertising rules should tackle obesity among young people

There will be even stricter rules for advertising unhealthy food aimed at children. For example, the age limit will be raised from 13 to 16, and controls will also become stricter. “More measures were needed to tackle the epidemic of childhood obesity,” said Flemish Minister of Youth and Media Benjamin Dalle (CD&V) on Wednesday in Het Nieuwsblad and Het Belang van Limburg.
