Radio Merseyside Phil Cooper is all wrapped up for us this morning we'll hear from him through a scarf like this because it's called will be on just before have by state and we're on to day 6 of scout smiles tell you what I'll do because you not get anywhere near the end so I'll chalk another clue in for you in 15 minutes b.b.c. Radio. You know it when you were a kid we used to watch the adverts Saturday morning or join in the kids telly Charles did you say to some of our Want That I Want It was a breakfast cereal did you think all a must have a little bit of that how much influence do you think that a television advert actually has on you maybe these days I mean there's lots of them of course as adults we probably think we're creatures of absolute free will and we make our own minds up but it's those little nibbles in those subliminal nibbles when it comes to advertising it's very clever in some ways but what about the kids different kettle of fish for the kids isn't it research also already shows there's a clear link between the food and drink and versus the kids see and the choices that they make and how much they eat of this food is one of this way there will be a number of discussions in Westminster on the impact of junk food television or the adverts on on television and the effect it has on children and the levels of obesity as well one of the authors of the report is Dr and the Boylan from the University of Liverpool I spoke to him yesterday they saw. Can't be saying around children's programming so that any programming that is particularly made for children such as. It might be on a children's channel like Nickelodeon but also any program in which children make up a certain proportion of the audience it has to be 20 percent higher than you would expect to find in the general population right so that to one side when the family sitting down on a on a Saturday night or midweek in the once in a family program that's targeted towards the family these are votes of started to sneak in there exactly this is what the report really highlights is that there's a real gap in the regulations we have at the moment so that they tackle children's t.v. Fairly well but they ignore the fact that most of children's viewing takes place outside of that time and is the sorts of programs you're talking about the sort of family viewing on a on a Saturday night for example and the regulations really don't tackle advertising around those sorts of programs so kids are being exposed to all of these outfits all of the high fat sugar foods that would be banned from Tilton's t.v. They're just seeing them in family viewing instead and the research I'm sure shows a clear link between the adverse children see in the food they eat things haven't changed over the years because when I was growing up Tony the Tiger came on I wanted Frosties or somebody else came on or some other cartoon character Christmas or whatever made you want to buy them that's the whole point of adverts isn't it exactly this has been shown time and time again in scientific studies that when children are exposed to adverts they're more likely to remember that brand so that when the next point of either buying something themselves or being with their parents summing up to ask for something to be bought they're more likely to select that brand more likely to choose the sorts of foods they've seen on the t.v. And say things like snack foods takeaways and children purely more likely to eat more when they've seen adverts for high fat sugar salt foods as well whether the food available all the food safety an appetite or not just seeing that sort of advertisement is very persuasive and provides a sort of prompt for children to eat I know there's a lot of Pastor power that goes on but as per. Aronsen grandparents don't we have the responsibility to say well look no you're not you know haven't these things or you might be able to have it as a treat once we call or twice so we we've got a role to play in this and absolutely yes parents on the wider family network do have a role to play when we act as gate keepers but what we're saying is that it's really not bad to put parents in a position where the food marketers are able to be sort of whispered whispering in your child there and telling me the really nice thing to want to. Talk to Emma Boyle and from the University of Liverpool one of the reports or things in the studio with me now is Beth Bradshaw She's a project officer a nutritionist with food active here in Liverpool want to do morning what you have for breakfast I have my breakfast when I don't have your bit yet plain yogurt with a banana Ok but it's all right now again isn't it just a quite fancy bowl of sugary cereal but it's going to every single day is absolutely in this this is a thing which you know is a main concern to me is you know the amount that we offer ties to. Idea of a tree is just so distorted we treat should be. Increased infrequent so but when we go to supermarkets and on t.v. With surrounded by Keyes can see these high fat sugar and salt foods so you know I said once every now and then it is fine but just not that state anymore and it's no wonder we have such a beast a crisis that we have a moment I'm sure you agree with junk food advertising as well but what about what one of the factors influence children when it comes to food do they see what we. As that of a better well you know I think you know industry are know exactly what they're doing you know they don't spend hundreds and millions of pounds worth of advertising every year for no reason they know it works because you know children say they they use they tailor these advertisements to include color schemes that may or may fit with this or target audience they can feel so it's. Food or drink product they make pink colors you know test stereotypical colors so they saw my soap personalities marking up as they really do invest so much money into their marketing experience it's subliminal a lot of this is absolutely I don't know the you know these little minds being absorbed. I mean even for example sports sports you know Elin picks and things like that Coco was a sponsor and that is also a form of junk food marketing even though we don't really realize it yet it's on the babes of all the volunteers it's everywhere around the stadium in this essence you know it might not be the product but it's the brand and it's that brand recognition that children are just so forth with do you think we're becoming too obsessed with it though because the aim of the makers of the manufacturers of food is to sell it these are businesses it's very very competitive for them and they spend a lot of time on. Prime time television a versus well in the commercial world they're just going to keep doing it it's not a case of stopping them it's managing this is well and as I mentioned. Earlier on as a parent we have to be a little bit stronger and just say. No you can't have it every single day have it as a treat Do you think do you think we have passed the power too much. From my point of view no I think you know my the very thing that really hits home with me is the amount that we. Advertise it so one minute we may have an outfit for change for life so they had a new campaign early on this year 2 sacks a day 100 calories marks we might have an advertisement from 10 to 25 talking about what foods we should be eating what foods we should be eating and that's recommended by public health guidance but the next half an advertisement on television maybe k.f.c. Maybe Domino's made up and you know that sort of conflicting message is really feeling not only children's but maybe parents idea of what we should constitute as a healthy diet and you know. It's no wonder that we're in the health of the u.k. And you know the p.c. Level that we have is so stark nowadays because I just really do think it really confuses confuses consumers available from all angles and I can always big from a cell before more angles I feel as though I'm being bombarded by don't eat this don't drink that don't have this sugar do this do that do the other it feels like I'm being nannied a lot of the time you know I'm a grown up brought my kids the best I can I think I know what I'm doing but I'm I'm learning along the way is there a danger of people just pulling down the shutters and say more will you all just stop telling me what to do now it's totally on star now because you know there's been a lots of actions recently which you know some not I've always responded well to you so you know the sugar tax levy coming in I don't know if anyone had but there had been outs reformulation Yeah there's now a petition to stop that happening from from consumers who love the product the way it is and they don't they are actually concerned with the sugar levels they just want their I'm broke so I do understand that and I do I do think you know in need there needs to be a middle ground for sure but all these all these policy changes that we call for there also make people's health better that we have everyone's best interests at heart and you know we were stupid how thier environment people to live in so then they have a better chance of of of having living a healthier life. A better quality of life as well we're almost out of time I have a theory that if you put an Adidas sign on an apple or a Nike swoosh on a banana I mean the bananas made for kids with kids would go for it and the reason I think this is because with the likes of Lucas I was a medicine when I was a kid but then football has got hold of it and became ultra cool so that's my theory behind it you think that would win yeah absolutely you know there's no. Him out people they used to sports sports personnel celebrities to compliment marketing in their advertising they do that for a reason because if they if you tell. And say oh they're drinking it and I'm going to drink it well you know that very very tough but it's simple if your child sees it and it looks good to them I want to have it and maybe that's the way to do it and maybe get some more influential celebrities footballers on board and get a fruit campaign go on and on there's been a Milk campaign over the years as well as anyone say Lovely to talk you out on a thank you very much indeed for coming in and give give our best to you Callie Robben Island and nobody comes in on his bike with thanks very much in the bath it says 17 minutes past 8 now good morning. Today with the latest b.b.c. News headlines now the mayor of Liverpool has written to the health secretary to seek reassurances about the future of the new Royal Liverpool Hospital after the firm building it Karelian went into liquidation yesterday I mean inquest into the death of travel agent Cassie Hayes who had to throw that work in Southport that will open a little later on today on the 30 year plan to transform transport links across the north of England are going to be talking about that will be outlined later in Little Paul when we find out more details will reflect that as we always do you know news bulletins here on b.b.c.

How we doing Ok. I'm a 59 southbound I'm afraid of the. One lane close now at least some traffic is starting to pass because it was all closed earlier on it's between junction 7 of the m $57.00 said Dhoni Broome's Crossroads which island that area the. Early over 10 vehicle lot of fuel spillage so they're still trying to sort this out at the moment one lane closed and slow traffic as a result this lanes closed while that's being cleared from the carriage way and it's near the Astor just inane to say that someone to look out for just had. Some good news though that the problems on the m 6 north and southbound they have cleared We've got delays on the m $62.00 eastbound though towards Manchester between junction 9 for Winick and 11 for the travel time round about 25 extra minutes on your journey that it's really batter And it down with rain at the moment so that could be causing some problems at your latest for now if you can take me on any of the problems out there or any of those issues please give us a ring as long as it's safe and it's legal to do so 151-794-0953 b.b.c.
