Recommendation 14

We urge the Government to implement population-level policies that ensure healthier choices and lifestyles are made a priority in tackling obesity rates, rather than schemes that focus solely on weight loss and can engender weight stigma and result in adverse health outcomes. We were disappointed by the Government’s delay in restricting multibuy deals for foods and drinks high in fat, salt, or sugar–including buy one get one free. We urge the Government to reconsider this decision and to implement this measure immediately.
