In this conversation, Prof Clare Collins speaks with Jane Martin about the pervasive influence of marketing on children's food choices and the resulting implications for health. They discuss the tactics used by food manufacturers to target children, the unfair burden placed on parents to manage these influences, and the need for systemic changes in food marketing and availability of highly marketed food products and drinks. Jane Martin advocates for campaigns aimed at protecting children from food marketing of unhealthy products and emphasises the importance of creating supportive food environments for families.
