McDonald can sponsor kids TV - Marmite cannot advertise

Marmite, cheddar cheese, raisins, Corn Flakes and honey are to remain banned from being advertised during children's television programmes, despite a year-long campaign from the food industry to change the rules.

A quirk of the rules meant that junk food brands, such as McDonald's, could continue to sponsor children's television programmes as long as specific products were not mentioned.



I just dont understand this atall. Maybe I am dreaming and will wake up when common sense has prevailed. Can anyone put a simple lad straight please? Thanks in advance.

It's just another example of poorly worded legislation having an unexpected effect.

So naturally they will add extra legislation? Which will be just as badly worded?

I expect then the MPs will be taking a pay cut?

My dogs won't even touch it, and they eat faeces off the street.
