The FAU claim that " advertising restrictions are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Government’s goal of reducing obesity, but could have a disproportionate and detrimental effect on the commercial broadcasters and the advertising sector. Commercial broadcasters, in particular niche children’s television channels, could potentially face substantial revenue losses." [3](http://www.fau.org.uk/html/industry_calling_for_a_respons.html)

−
The FAU makes the argument in several of its briefings that restrictions are unnecessary stating that, "The available academic research does not support the frequently voiced view that food advertising is a significant cause of diet-related problems, for example obesity.
 
−
The argument that food advertising leads to bad health is based on several assumptions that do not represent the reality of the way that advertising works or how parents and children make their food choices." [4](http://www.fau.org.uk/html/advertising_and_diet.html)

This report had been produced for the panel of academics appointed by the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCFS) to examine the impacts of the commercial world on children's wellbeing. The report concluded that, " there was no evidence of a decline on children's overall wellbeing, nor that the net impact of the commercial world has been negative over the past fifteen years. Indeed it finds plenty of evidence that aspects of the commercial world enhance the wellbeing of children.". [2]
