South Korea restricts TV ads on hamburgers, pizzas, instant noodles, chocolate and other candies and ice cream

Amazing, South Korea through its health ministry has banned television advertising of hamburgers, pizzas, instant noodles, chocolate and other candies and ice cream from 5pm to 7pm. No to junk food advertising directly to children.
Last year the Korean health ministry banned the sale of junk food in schools and their neighborhoods.
My personal solution is we do not let our children watch television. Period. The school our children go to discourage the watching of television as well.
I would like to see Philippine officials doing the same thing in our country. If the Koreans can do it, we can too.
