A Kildare mum has spoken out against marketing junk food to children as it emerges that three out of every four people in Ireland want celebrities banned from endorsing unhealthy food and drinks.
Clare Kelly, a mum-of-five who lives in Celbridge, is only too aware of the amount of marketing her teens are exposed to, and with heart disease in her family, is encouraging all people in the area to sign the Irish Heart Foundation’s petition to combat childhood obesity.
“Parents are told to feed their kids a healthy diet, and yet we not stopped child-friendly marketing of unhealthy foods,” said Clare.
