1NUTRITION The Sugar DebateFind one initiative that has been proposed or has been implemented to reduce sugar intake:Regulation of advertising is a key initiative proposed in the UK for addressing thegrowing concern of increased sugar consumption among the population. Public Health England(PHE) reported that all forms of marketing have a deep influence on the food preferences,choices and purchasing patterns of individuals in the community. World Health Organization2010 guidelines have put forward the recommendation that governments are to restrict themarketing of high fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) foods. PHE has therefore called for an importantreduction in advertisement of HFSS products across all media which includes digital platforms.Restrictions are to be applicable for advertisement of foods that cross the threshold set by FSA.Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) highlighted that online advertising has witnessed asharp increase in the recent years, also conferring itself the feature of being diverse. A publicconsultation is required for introducing new rules that govern the non-broadcast advertising ofHFSS foods. The Food and Drink Federation had declared that the same would provide supportfor ending advertisements of HFSS foods, especially targeting the young age population (Sugarand Health Policy, 2016). Discuss the problems that could be faced when trying to implement it in New Zealand or in yourlocal environment:If advertisement of high sugar content foods is to be banned in New Zealand, the firmswould respond by decreasing the prices of the food products to a considerable extent. Similarfalls would also be witnessed in prices of high salt and fat containing food. The health gains areprobably to be mitigated by individuals preferring consuming other non-nutritious food instead
