Corporate Social Responsibility and Information Economics in action! Waitrose has announced a ban on sales of energy drinks to under-16s. Will other supermarkets follow suit? Only a small percentage of students get their energy drinks from Waitrose!

.@waitrose are banning the sale of high-caffeine #energydrinks to children under 16. They carry the warning label 'not recommended for children', after all. @sainsburys will you commit to doing the same? #Sainsburys https://t.co/gfRZ5xkFLB
