Parent Action

Is this you?

  • Do you want to be able to stop at the supermarket free from the temptation of junk food at the checkout?
  • Do you want to be able to stand in line at the checkout with your children without having to say "no" to their demands for lollies?
  • Do you not want to have to continually replace lollies on the stand that their little hands have picked up?
  • Do you want to be able to stand in line without having to deal with a potential or full-blown temper tantrum over lollies?

We urge parents to get involved in the campaign for junk-food-free supermarket checkouts. Check out the Parent action ideas below and make sure your voice is heard!

  • Write to your local supermarket asking that they implement junk-food-free checkouts. Click here to download a template.
  • Write a letter to the CEO of the supermarket chain.
  • If you own shares in Coles, Woolworths or Metcash write as a concerned shareholder.
  • Write a letter to your local newspaper.
  • Call talk-back radio about the issue.
  • Talk to other parents and urge them to get involved in the campaign.
