Korea has put a ban on junk food from all TV from 5pm to 7pm - and completely prohibited junk food advertising during children's programs - foods high in fat, sugar and salt - foods like hamburgers, pizzas, instant noodles, even chocolate, candies and ice cream!
I think it is a brilliant idea; kids minds are open to new ideas (including negative) and commercials of foods that are not ideal for your health, can have a negative impact. That does not mean to say that you cannot enjoy such foods in a balanced way.
