Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Food Products (Marketing to Children) Bill.
Food Products (Marketing to Children) Bill
Everybody knows that people should eat five pieces of fruit a day, and there is a lot of advertising promoting that, whether on television, in magazines or elsewhere. Children who come into my shop rarely ask for fruit. Instead, they want crisps, cans of fizzy drink and other sweets. That reinforces the point that advertising on its own does not have the impact that people suggest.
