ANA Exec Blasts Kids' Food Marketing Proposal
According to Jaffe/ANA, the proposed voluntary guidelines would cost food/beverage makers "multibillions" in non-market-driven product reformulations and "the suppression of virtually unprecedented amounts of advertising to those 17 and younger."
This is particularly disturbing, he said, because IWG's report "provides virtually no evidence that the proposals, if fully complied with, "would provide any positive impact on obesity rates in the U.S."
In addition, applying the proposed marketing restrictions to teens as old as 17, who are nearly adults, is "severely misguided," he claims. The definitions of marketing and advertising "directed to children" are "breathtakingly overbroad," Jaffe added. "It is extraordinary that these proposals treat advertising as 'directed to children' even where 80% of the targeted audience is made up of adults."

What's the cost when then don't do it? So what if it blends in with the "adult" world, like the adults are not obesely fat, too? That hole the food companies have dug for the consumers should now come full circle and you know what they have filled with it. You are what you eat. Chemically induced products produce chemically induced consumers.
