Wow i thought this was about something much bigger. Its not at all a new concept. In the U.S junk food companies are constantly being pressured to stop advertising to children during cartoons and morning programs. This month Kraft announced that they were going to stop advertising their popular cookie "oreo's" to youth audiences. So its not as new of an idea as you might think.

No its not just consumer pressure. Were you aware that for the 2005 school year in Texas the state government had to approve the schools menu's to "fight childhood obesity"? Thats an example of the govt. stepping in. Also the government makes the food pyramid that we are taught from kindergarden. The government is more involved in our diets than you want ti imagin, but your are right stepping in and outlawing advertisment is going to far. I was just adding perspective, pointing out that it happens in america also.

Yes, exactly. I was more trying to point out that the state government has used its power to encourage a healthy youth. It was simply an example, i hoped it would help to inform. I could care less if they took away the onion rings, i perfer the vegitables anyways.
