| 2 Thing You Can Do to Stop Junk Food Marketing to Kids Posted: 09 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT
Do your kids nag you to buy them some junk food after seeing a commercial or movie placement? Do you rather leave them at hope to avoid confrontations in the cereal aisle? Have you ever been surprised to discover that the online video game your child is playing features non other than a junk food cartoon mascot? Marketing junk food to kids has got to stop. Here's what you can do today to help: 1. Watch the video below 2. Sign the petition adressed to President Obama Excerpt from the petition: The Interagency Working Group on Foods Marketed to Children (IWG) has proposed reasonable, science-based nutrition guidelines to help provide a model for companies that market to kids. Unfortunately, the food industry and media companies are working to get Congress to stop the IWG from finalizing these sensible recommendations. Parents and kids don't have the power of big food companies. We can't fly to Washington, pay lobbyists or put pressure on federal agencies. That's why we're counting on our President to stand up for our kids. When we put children first, the plan of action is clear: companies should market the foods that keep kids healthy, not sugary cereals and other junk food. Please take a minute to sign the petition.
