“The whole of government needs to be part of a shared goal to protect and create a healthy society.” – @LindaBauld

New report finds alcohol, tobacco & junk food industries make £53 billion every year from harmful consumption. @UK_AHA @AshOrg @OHA_updates

What strategies do unhealthy commodity industries use to undermine public policies & increase profit?

1⃣Framing: to shape views of health risks & solutions
2⃣Action: lobbying, legal threats, CSR

They should be excluded from health policy development.

This is the government’s prevention agenda regarding alcohol in a nutshell: encourage people to drink no and low alcohol products by updating labelling.

Instead of price, place, and promotion policies that have many decades of evidence.
