Prohibiting Junk-Food Marketing to Kids: Health Professionals Help Curb Health Crisis
To that end, the White House and four U.S. agencies have recommended ending the promotion of junk-food to children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended a national policy prohibiting junk-food marketing to kids. And, high profile organizations like the World Health Organization have recognized the links between fast-food marketing and our children’s health.
Simply put, the less kids are exposed to fast food marketing, the less likely they are to be susceptible to diet-related diseases as adults.
So we’re leading the call to protect our children’s health. We demand the industry’s most aggressive marketer to children, McDonald’s, retire its iconic clown and the suite of marketing practices it uses to build kids’ life long brand loyalty.
