Ontario doctors target junk food with grisly cigarette-like warning labels

RT:

Canadian doctors aim to stem their country’s obesity epidemic in a radical new way: Copying anti-smoking campaigns. They have suggested slapping threatening labels on pizzas, soda drinks and other junk food, warning of the diseases they might cause.

The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) unveiled several mock-ups on Tuesday to promote their plan, including a pizza box with a picture of a liver discolored by fatty liver disease, a child’s juice box featuring a photo of a foot affected by diabetic ulcers and other similarly grotesque warnings.
