Childhood Obesity Government Strategy Criticized

The government's obesity strategy, which includes a sugar tax and voluntary sugar reduction targets, has been criticized for lacking strong measures. Critics, including Public Health England and health organizations, argue that the plan fails to address childhood obesity effectively. The strategy does not ban junk food advertising or end price promotions on sugary products. Public concerns focus on the impact of the sugar tax on low-income families, while health organizations doubt the plan's ability to curb sugar addiction.
