We applaud Ged Kearney & Australia's Food Ministers for their commitment to mandate Health Star Ratings if the industry fails to reach a 70% voluntary uptake by November 2025. 👏 Read our joint media release: bit.ly/4dvFkJu VicHealth The George Institute for Global Health

Important paper to further the urgent mandatory application of the Health Star Rating System. The food industry currently uses HSR as a marketing tool, not to help shoppers make healthier choices.

Great news to hear that a McDonald's TV ad has been removed for targeting children. 👏👏👏 The ad shows a family sitting at a table, with children dressed in Minions costumes eating a Happy Meal and playing with minion toys at McDonalds. 👇

Another great international example showing that removing unhealthy ads can be done! Another council in England has introduced a healthier food advertising policy in their local area. shorturl.at/KJhlf

Two Rocks residents are fighting to stop the development of a drive-through 24-hour McDonalds in their coastal suburb, with 380 complaints opposing the development and many on the grounds of health. It's time that we put health before profits and listen to community.
