Happy Campaign Friday Fam🤗,
According to RADA's Knowledge Attitude and Behavioral survey (2024), 6 out of 10 people living in urban areas are likely to eat Ultra-processed products daily😯.
In recent times, research increasingly links high consumption of ultra-processed foods to:
⛔Obesity and overweight
⛔Type 2 diabetes
⛔ Cardiovascular conditions
⛔Depression and poor mental health
⛔Higher risk of certain cancers
⛔Reduced quality of life
If a health tax is placed on Ultra-Processed Products and sweetened beverages lives will be saved leading to a thriving economy with a healthy and active population. Taxing and is a triple win for the country 💪. The time for Action is Now Ministère de la Santé Publique du Cameroun, Ministère des Finances Cameroun, Ministère des Mines, de l'Industrie et du Développement Technologique and Ministère du Commerce Cameroun
