GROUP ADVOCATES NON-NUTRITIOUS FOOD ADVERTISING BAN

Professor Claude Bouchard, president of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, doesn't want to meddle or anything but does want Australia to ban junk food advertising:
The executive committee of the International Association for the Study of Obesity has approved a position statement which essentially says that we should ban advertising of junk foods and non-nutritious foods to children. We don't want to interfere into your national debate, but it is one that needs to take place.
As a professor Bouchard should know that food is, by definition, nutritious; that's what makes it food.
