A majority in Norwayβs parliament has agreed on prohibiting the marketing of unhealthy food to young people under 18 and a ban on the sale of energy drinks to those younger than 16.
The majority who voted for the proposal are MPs from the Labour Party, Centre Party, Socialist Left Party and the Red Party. The current age limit for the advertisement of unhealthy food is 13.
We should do more to tackle the issue of obesity in society, so I think this is a step in the right direction. Itβs very sad if we just let this issue continue to get more severe, in my view. Our kids deserve better.
