DESCRIPTION:Over the last twenty years\, a range of studies have establish
 ed that food marketing affects children’s consumption preferences and pu
 rchase requests. However\, in stark contrast with what has happened for to
 bacco products\, public authorities in the UK\, in Europe and beyond have 
 been extremely reluctant to restrict the marketing of food high in fat\, s
 ugar and salt\, preferring to rely instead on the self-regulatory commitme
 nts or ‘pledges’ of food industry operators. This reluctance to impose
  legally binding restrictions on food marketing\, particularly to children
 \, raises a range of questions which this talk proposes to focus on.
