U.K. to unveil anti-obesity plan including ban on advertising junk food on TV before 9 p.m.
LONDON -- British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to roll out a £10 million anti-obesity campaign, including junk food advert bans, following his own brush with death that he partly blamed on his weight.
"COVID-19 has given us all a wake-up call of the immediate and long-term risks of being overweight, and the Prime Minister is clear we must use this moment to get healthier, more active and eat better," said a government spokesman on Sunday. Restaurants will also have to publish the number of calories in the meals they serve, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
