And finally... cereal killer

Certain types of porridge, crumpets and breakfast cereals are included in a new list of products that fall under a new junk food advertising ban to come into force in the UK in October next year. 

The UK government has urged that the legislation is designed to prevent childhood obesity.

The legislation applies to paid online adverts and TV adverts shown before 9pm, BBC News reports. 



Food classed by the government as “less healthy” falls under the ban, and includes fast food, soft drinks and ready meals as well as pastries, cereal bars and sweetened yoghurts.
