We polled our members on various points raised in the National Preventative Health Taskforce's "Australia: The Healthiest Country by 2020" discussion paper. The poll results will be compiled and used in our submission to the discussion paper in January, outlining the views of Australian parents on childhood overweight and obesity prevention strategies.

We asked you to email us with your thoughts on the Coca-Cola / Kerry Armstrong 'myth-busting' advertisement, which we compiled into a letter expressing disappointment at the misleading claims made in the advertisement, and at Kerry Armstrong's choice to endorse a campaign that promotes soft drinks to families and children.

We received over 16 pages of passionate comments from our members. You can read the letters and a sample of the comments, sent with each letter, below:
