Should junk food adverts be banned?

Doctors are calling for a ban on junk food adverts before 9pm in a new plan to tackle obesity.

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, which represents nearly every doctor in the UK, says the UK has an obesity crisis with a quarter of adults classed as obese and one in three kids leaving primary school overweight.

They also want a limit of the number of fast food outlets near schools and to raise taxes on sugary drinks by up 20 percent.
