Petition Ban junk food and fizzy drinks companies from advertising

There was a time where Santa's suit was Green, Red or Tan depending on the person drawing it, then Coca Cola came along and used Santa as part of their Christmas marketing drive and since then we've all come to know the jolly fat man in the red suit.
