In 2004 Livingstone, with Ellen Helsper, undertook a review of research into the effects of television advertising on children on behalf of Ofcom, the Office of Communications. The report Advertising Foods to Children: Understanding Promotion In The Context Of Children’s Daily Lives, concluded that obesity was a complex issue with many causes and that there was litte empirical evidence to support an advertising ban. Any initiative to tackle obesity needed to cover various aspects and any ban would only be part of that overall initiative. One of the contributors who advised on the report was Brian Young, a fellow member of the Advertising Education Forum. [1]
