OPEN LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER
The Hon RJ Hawke, MP
Prime Minister
Parliament House
CANBERRA ACT 2600

Dear Prime Minister
Into the Mouth of Babes
We are writing to you because we are concernef abaout the way food is being advertised to children.
What we eat now affect our health in years to come. Bad dietary habits start while we are very young. For this reason, your government supports health education that encourages a balanced health diet. Australians are encouraged the get the bulk of their nutrients from fresh fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain cereals, a lesser amount from foods high in fat, salt and sugar.
TV advertising to children presents a completely different message. Nearly 80% of food advertising pushes fatty snaks or sweets – the very food that should be eaten least. To make matter worse, these ads take up much of the advertising time. This must be stopped.
TV advertising is powerful and influential. Parents however strong-willed, find it hard to resist pressures created by this advertising. Children are least able to understand the tricks of advertising industry.
For the hours when children are the main audience, TV advertising of foods must be made to reinforce, not undermine, the message about a balanced diet. We appeal to you, as Prime Minister, to take the lead in calling together the the advertisers, TV networks, consumers and public health bodies to decide how this is to be done.
Your sincerely,
Signed by Barbara Biggins and other prominent signatories.
