There should be separate marketing mixes for each segment instead of having one product price, design, style for all customers.

Yes, it is. According to me. Company has to follow government rules. As it design separate product like food just focusing children .They setup separate procedure for them .which make this item specially for children. The elder one can also use them. For each level of age and taste there are different product .segmenting the market and focusing on well defined target markets can help company to increase profit.
