My gf is getting her PhD at Yale, and she studies the obesity epidemic with some of the field's leaders. As a result, I'm pretty fluent in the science of this issue. All I have to say is, in 10 years I think we'll look back on fast-food advertising to kids like we do on cigarette advertising to kids. These companies directly target children with a product that measurably harms them. And it's not as simple as not going to McDonald's. This type of insidious advertising directed at kids is all over the place, and it's difficult for parents to compete with hundreds of millions of dollars spent on carefully scripted cartoons and promoting appealing toys.
