Another reason why self-regulation of food marketing to kids doesn’t work: in-store ads like this from #CocaCola aren’t covered.
Retail #foodenvironments need improvement : marketing promotions of such products in key spots pushes unhealthy products on kids (and then parents).

There’s no such thing as a “free” consumer choice when everything - from the food that is on offer through to marketing and advertising and price promotions - pushes us towards the unhealthy, rather than the healthy, food choice.
