Tony Blair Threatens Junk Food Ad Ban in UK
British Prime Minister Tony Blair told the BBC that he is considering banning junk food advertisements on TV to help boost public health as well draw attention to childhood obesity.
Blair is hoping that the food industry will prove it can regulate itself & instill a more healthy way of life into their ads. The industry has until next year to clean up its ads or Blair will begins steps to legislate strict rules on junk food ads.
It is estimated that 14% of children in England are clinically obese.
Looks like Blair is finally catching up with Jamie Oliver.
