Marketing Food to Kids - FTC Report

The Food Renegade posted today on an FTC report on hearing about food marketing to children.

Conclusion of the report? Voluntary standards for advertisers.

I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but I’m just too cynical. As long as there is profit to be made from marketing sugar, fat, and salt—and long-term profits from hooking children early—won’t advertisers continue? Tell me NO if you must, but I require proof on this one.
