Evidence in today’s Boston Globe on how advertising affects our children’s health. It really just makes sense that kids at impressionable ages would be swayed by aggressive advertising during peak viewing hours (after school). Do corporations really have that much of a stranglehold on our society that we can’t limit their exposure to our youth and instead be replaced with spots promoting eating fruits and vegetables? When are we going to get the message that stockholder’s profits will never serve the common good, especially when it comes to basic health? When will the pandering to Big Money end?

Never! Money makes the world go round. It is both the Parents and the educators role to instill a healthy lifestyle. I am sick and tired of everything being blamed on the media and marketing.
