Dozens of side events in Geneva brought together states, UN agencies, philanthropies, activists, and others. But who served as the bridges across all that noise?

Werbung: Wie Kinder zum Quengeln gebracht werden
Kids stehen auf Pizza, Pommes, Süßes – und die Werbung weiß das genau. Mit „Pester Power - Macht des Quengelns" steuern sie, was später auf dem Teller landet.

‼️Food companies spending big (an extra £420m) ahead of new UK junk food ad rules… Coinciding with a bumper 12 months for sales of snack foods (an extra 45.4m packs of chocolate, cakes and crisps)
