    Can brands still be advertised?

    Energy drinks are banned but these days Red Bull is a brand covering F1, extreme sports etc etc so can they just have generic “Red Bull gives you wings” ads that simply don’t mention the drink?

    Same for kellogs, presumably most of their products are junk but I imagine they can still just advertise the brand?

    This is ridiculous, it’s not OK to advertise crumpets but Carling and Paddy Power is fine?

    why does everyone have headlines leaving people thinking straight porridge is banned when it is absolutely not?

      Proper clickbait.

      “it leaves room for healthy versions of products to continue to be advertised, such as porridge oats, but not those such as porridge products that have had sugar, salt or fat added to them.”

      Reading the news today leaves me feeling “used”. You just know the headline will be deceiving.

      Is it just that gay porridge they’ve banned then?

    I think this is really silly and inefficient. Instead of having to figure out whether every single product is unhealthy just ban food adverts altogether. Cooking from scratch is way better for you but isn’t advertised. Level the playing field.
