Norway’s decision to prohibit the marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to children is a commendable step toward reducing overweight and obesity and protecting young people from serious conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
According to the the WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative, more than one in five school‑aged children in Norway are currently living with overweight or obesity.
I applaud Norway’s leadership on this critical health challenge, and encourage other nations to take similarly decisive measures to safeguard the health and future of their children.
