Health experts are calling for graphic labelling to be put on junk foods.
An image of a damaged human heart covered in yellowish fat from too much junk food would turn people off eating unhealthy fried chips and burgers, a study has found.
Health experts say it's time for junk foods to carry graphic warnings like cigarette packets do, to combat the obesity epidemic.
A University of Melbourne and Cancer Council Victoria study has found the use of graphic warnings - like a decayed tooth or fatty heart - on unhealthy food was an effective tool in improving a person's diet.
For the study, 95 hungry participants were shown colour pictures of 50 different snack foods ranging from chips, chocolate bars and biscuits to nuts, fruits and vegetables.
They were asked to rate on a scale how much they would like to eat each food at the end of the experiment.
