Thanks to your support, over 10,000 Victorians have engaged with Food Fight since the campaign launched in March 2022.
As a Primary School teacher, Mitch sees first-hand the impact of unhealthy food and drink advertising on his students. Seeing it on billboards, trams and buses on his own route to school, he says this constant presence of fun, colourful advertising for unhealthy food and drinks has a strong influence on his students.
If you’re a parent whose child has ever begged and badgered you for food or drink out of the blue, you’ll know this term well. But did you know that kids who are exposed to ads for unhealthy food and drinks are more than twice as likely to ask a parent for a product they had seen advertised?
Tuesday 14 February 2023: Cancer Council Victoria has received recognition at the 2022 Victorian Health Promotion Awards for its innovative and effective work on Food Fight , a campaign calling for government action to remove unhealthy food and drink advertising from public transport, public transport infrastructure and near schools.
Thursday 14 July 2022: More than 10,000 people and community and health organisations have signed up to support Cancer Council Victoria’s Food Fight, calling to protect children from unhealthy food and drink advertising where they commute, learn and play.
