The German coalition government, referred to as the Ampelkoalition, has struggled to implement effective strategies for promoting healthy eating among its citizens. Despite promising initiatives aimed at improving food options in schools and nurseries, experts highlight significant funding shortfalls as a major barrier. Additionally, efforts to restrict advertising of unhealthy foods aimed at children have stalled due to criticism. The government’s nutritional strategy and its impact on rising obesity and related health issues stand at the forefront of public health discussions.
