WHO: Curb ads for junk food, sweets and beer to fight obesity

Alarmed at the rise of obesity among children and adolescents, the WHO urges stricter limitations on advertising for junk food – and for beer in Germany, too.

The WHO warns that overweight and obese children are likely to remain obese into adulthood, and "more likely to develop non-communicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age."
