A new report from Germany's Ministry of Food and Agriculture finds that kids are eating a lot more sugar, fat, and salt than they used to.
And that's not a good thing, says the chairwoman of a children's nutrition group.
"More than four years after the start of the National Reduction and Innovation Strategy, the current evaluations of the Max Rubner Institute again show that the food industry is not really interested in changing their recipes for the benefit of children's health," Carola Reimann says in a press release.
"The best example of this is the soft drinks popular with boys and girls, in which the average sugar levels have even risen again," she continues.
"What is needed are mandatory reduction targets for producers.
In addition, further measures are needed as soon as possible, such as restricting advertising of high-sugar and high-calorie foods to children."
