Ban child-targeted packaging and prominent display of high-sugar sweets.
High-sugar sweets use bright designs and characters, targeting children. They're often displayed at kids' eye-level or checkouts, exploiting "pester power." This predatory marketing fuels childhood obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. We need stronger legislation to protect children's health.

Background
High-sugar sweets use bright designs and characters, targeting children. They're often displayed at kids' eye-level or checkouts, exploiting "pester power." This predatory marketing fuels childhood obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. Current rules are insufficient. We need stronger legislation to protect children's health.
