The Obesity Policy Coalition aims to influence change in policy and regulation to help prevent obesity, particularly in children. You can help by showing your support for our latest campaign to encourage the Government to make Traffic Light Labelling mandatory on all packaged food in Australia.
We believe consumers have the right to clear food labelling that cuts through the marketing hype and allows them to see at a glance how healthy a food product is. In order to demonstrate how this would work we have created the Traffic Light Food Tracker app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
There are several ways you can support our campaign: download the app for free and share with family and friends, try out the Traffic Light Food Tracker widget below and if you like what you see embed it to your own website. Finally, if you are a blogger, check out our bloggers' area for more info and to download banners.

Aaron has seen first hand the damage associated with binge drinking and unhealthy eating. He is committed to ensuring Australians aren’t influenced into making poor choices by associating sport, health and well being, alcohol and poor eating.
Join the campaign, be a Game Changer and help put pressure on the major codes and work in creating a healthier Australia. Sign the petition to Cricket Australia, Tennis Australia, the AFL and NRL to stop the promotion of alcohol and junk food.
