This is creepy 😰@KelloggCompany decided to promote their #junkfood mascots with an army of illuminated drones just after the ministry of health banned characters in #junkfood packages.
An example of their lack of commitment to public health efforts.

The processed food industry spends millions targeting children. The result? Kids think food tastes better with a cartoon character on the pack. We're calling on govt to set higher standards to protect kids. bit.ly/3gKUSNu #brandsoffourkids

📌 2 in 3 parents want healthy kids’ sports rewards
👉 Let's call TIME OUT on junkfood vouchers in kids' sport!

Food-related health taxes have been levied in some places to reduce purchasing of unhealthy foods/drinks known to contribute to #obesity & #NCDs. Could these taxes change #foodchoices in #Ghana🇬🇭? @healthisglocal & team weigh in on a @meals4ncds blog: meals4ncds.org/en/could-food…
