TV advertsing is supposed have been curtailed/controlled ar peak childrens' viewing times but food manufacturers marketing are using other medias to reach them

Hit the link to Missing the target
SOme good videos are linked - likee healthy eating promo. Which video highlights exactly the sort of pressure parents are put under via food advertising
Agree - links to other videos highlight the problem eg Fat Kids life sucks
Like Mock of the week -Russell Howard
Agree re video links -really shows the size of the problem eg 6 stone at the age of 4!!!!
TV advertising may have been curtailed but it has been shifted to other mediums eg computer /kids magazines
