My child doesn't watch TV, and is surrounded by ad blockers of all possible varieties. Consequently she rejects food that she can't break down easily into ingredients with plain English names.
The more general problem with America is the prevalence of business models that depend on sales of people's attention. "If it's free, you're the product" is such an integral part of living in the US these days that most people don't even realize how deeply in hock they are.
Cutting the cord, abandoning traditional TV programming (including daytime content-less shows and infomercials) and fighting the good fight against ads will eventually leave consumers free to make their own decisions. I'm worried only that it might take too long: the genetic damage to humanity will already be done.
