Junk food advertising is promoting fatty, sugary foods, and making it harder for Australians to make healthy choices.

The industry said it could voluntarily self-regulate - but in eight years there’s been no reduction in unhealthy advertising. Nothing has happened, and things are only getting worse.

Which is why more authorities are calling for a levy on fast food advertising. Companies could still advertise - but revenue from the levy would fund a campaign to promote healthy eating and counter the messages of the junk food giants.

Ask Health Minister Greg Hunt to put a levy on junk food advertising.

A levy on junk food advertising would make it more expensive for corporations like McDonald's or KFC to promote their fast food. It would also raise funds to encourage healthier behaviours and make it easier for people to make informed choices that are better for their health.

More and more people are calling for something to be done about Australia’s rising obesity rate. But the Government is also under pressure from industry lobby groups that value their profits above our health. So we need to be putting pressure on them too.

Sign the petition for a levy on fast food advertising.
