Sports told to ditch junk food

[GAFFA]

next they will be after the Ronald McDonald house to change their name because it promotes kids to eat fast food...

So this Healthway funding - that'll be dollar for dollar then, locked in?

i was never allowed fruit loops or sugary breakfasts that growing up...

Leading with your chin again dude....!

Well I would like to know how Healthway can say that it is due to public pressure ..

Maybe Healthway should start Saturday activity centres to baby sit all the kids that have had there activities closed down due to funding.

They've been doing this in UK supermarkets for several years now. I think it's so parents with young kids can go through the checkout without the kids whining about wanting lollies!

Just finished taking my mum shopping and she refused to buy me a cherry ripe at the checkout

WA's health promotion agency said that, in an attempt for Healthway to remain relevant, sporting codes should be forced to drop their competitors' multi-million dollar sponsorship and take up their vastly lower sponsorship

match it dollar for dollar and give back the same to the community or STFU

Whereas it's my job, when I'm looking after the little darlings, to find the aisles with all the chokkies and ice creams to insure they ...

a) are happy and well behaved,
b) think they have the best Pop in Australia, then...
c) give 'em back.

Dr Capolingua said the number of WA sports that promoted alcohol and junk food through sponsorship agreements had reduced markedly over the past few years and there were now only a few that continued to do so.

"We would encourage those sports that have not yet moved on this to do so because public opinion will be clearly on their side," she said.

I encourage all sports that are not rugby to accept inferior amounts from healthway so that more junk food and alcohol companies are free to sponsor rugby.

The Healthway Nazis are on the prowl again

Having dealt with them when I was on the committee for my Cricket club I can say that they are a pain in the arse to deal with
