Unhealthy foods, non-communicable diseases and the right to health 2014, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- Meaningful participation has public health benefits and also empowers people in accordance with the right to health approach. States should ensure that spaces are available for children and their parents to provide input on school foods, employees to give input on food at the workplace, or by enabling community or consumer groups to be involved in standard-setting. States should seek broad public consultation to inform policies across sectors, including on agricultural production policies, the regulation of unhealthy foods, nutritional standards in public institutions and for monitoring transparency in food labelling, marketing or promotion.

Paragraph
Unhealthy foods, non-communicable diseases and the right to health 2014, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- In addition to marketing of unhealthy food targeted at children, including through toy giveaways, competitions, social media, cartoon characters, games, television, movies, interactive websites and in youth-oriented settings such as schools and recreation centres, parents are also often targeted by such pervasive marketing. This is done to encourage parents to buy unhealthy foods for their children. In many cases, the food industry's marketing to children and their parents may be disproportionately aimed at particular racial, ethnic or socioeconomic groups, exacerbating health inequities faced by those groups.
