Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 A QUICK LOOK AT HOW SOME COUNTRIES ADVERTISE FOOD TO KIDS Ireland: All television commercials for fast food and candy are banned. Sweden/Norway/Austria/Luxembourg: All television advertising to children is banned. Belgium/France/Portugal/Vietnam: All marketing is banned in schools. United States: Spending more per child than any other nation in the world, the U.S. plugs $15 billion per year into marketing food to kids, which is more than what it would cost to provide health insurance for all uninsured children. Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall How can you refuse it? Let fury have the hour, anger can be power D'you know that you can use it?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Advertising to children is rife in the UK too. The government has said it would like it to be reduced, which is a little of nothing really.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 'pester power' is rife in the UK, and despite the government half- heartedly saying they want to do something about advertising aimed at children, they want every generation to become good consumers, and they like to start them as young as possible.
