Food Marketing to Children and Youth: Threat or Opportunity? (repost)

Food Marketing to Children and Youth: Threat or Opportunity?
National Academies Press | 2006-04-11 | ISBN: 0309097134 | 536 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Creating an environment in which children in the United States grow up healthy should be a high priority for the nation. Yet the prevailing pattern of food and beverage marketing to children in America represents, at best, a missed opportunity, and at worst, a direct threat to the health prospects of the next generation.
