Supermarkets put junk food on special twice as often as healthy food, and that’s a problem

“Sugar hides in almost all pre-packaged food.” Food processors and packagers have over 150 different words for sugar, so it can be really hard to spot it on the nutritional label, says #UofTMed’s Dr. Jodi Bernstein. bit.ly/33BJMmD

Bill S-228 has a broad range of voices supporting this landmark legislation to restrict food and beverage marketing to children 12 and under. #SenCA – time is running out. Vote on and pass Bill S-228 to stop #Marketing2Kids.

Sen Wallin (Sask) opposes #Marketing2Kids restrictions but 3 out of 4 people in Saskatchewan think the food & beverage industry markets its products directly to kids. #BillS228 helps protect kids from harmful marketing. #SenCA, don’t let the bill die. Put it to a vote. @donplett
