Food industry disputes child obesity report

A group representing the food industry, advertisers and broadcasters claims lifestyle not advertising is the reason the incidence of childhood obesity continues to climb.
A new report from the Public Health Association has found that there is a link between fast food adverts shown during children's TV programming and child obesity.
However, the Food Industry Group says children are simply eating too much and exercising too little. Executive director Robert Bree say the report is not new research, just old data which has been reviewed.
