Junk Food Ad Restrictions
US urges junk food makers to restrict ads to kids:
U.S. regulators urged food companies on Tuesday to voluntarily limit their advertising of sugary snacks, soft drinks and other junk food to kids to help combat childhood obesity.
The Federal Trade Commission and Department of Health and Human Services recommended expanding current, self-imposed guidelines on advertising to children, and said the industry should consider setting nutritional standards for foods marketed to kids.
It's about time!
If everyone cooperates, I wonder how long before we see a less corpulent US population.
