flag England bans "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods to combat childhood obesity.

flag "Buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods like sugary drinks, crisps, sweets, and cakes are now banned across England, targeting supermarkets, large retailers, and online sellers, as part of a government effort to reduce childhood obesity. flag The ban also extends to free drink refills at restaurants and cafes. flag These measures, part of a broader strategy, include a ban on advertising such foods on TV before 9 p.m. and a full prohibition on online promotions starting in January. flag The government says the changes are crucial to helping children lead healthier lives, as obesity increases risks for serious health issues including certain cancers, heart disease, and mental health challenges. flag A classification system identifies unhealthy products, and the initiative aims to reduce long-term strain on the NHS.
