Utrecht wants a healthier city, but advertising supports unhealthy lifestyle

Utrecht wants to improve the health of its residents, but much of the advertising in the city focuses on unhealthy food. That is what RTV Utrecht reports.

The municipality recently put the topic of health on the agenda, but some of the advertising campaigns appear to go against that goal. The source does not mention which measures might be taken.

According to RTV Utrecht, there is a difference between what the city aims for and the messages that citizens receive through advertising. The exact extent of the problem is not known.

The municipality has not yet responded to the signals. It is unclear whether concrete steps are being taken to change the situation.

This report is a summary based on the mentioned source and is not medical advice. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have complaints.
