School of Planning's Dr. Leia Minaker releases new report for Heart & Stroke

The School of Planning's Dr. Leia Minaker has recently published a report in partnership with Heart & Stroke which details how food and beverage companies employ dozens of tactics to market their products directly to children at point-of-sale locations across Canada, such as grocery stores and restaurants.

This work done by Dr. Minaker aligns greatly with Heart & Stroke's goals, as according to the report, children 9-13 in Canada get almost 60% of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods, high in salt, sugars and saturated fats. 

For more information on the report, or to read it in its entirety, please see the Heart & Stroke's press release.
