Food Marketing to Youth: Current Threats and Opportunities
April 13, 2012
A range of stakeholders and strategies are needed to reduce the harm caused by child-directed food marketing, according to an editorial published by Rudd Center researchers in the journal Childhood Obesity. The editorial examines local, state, and federal actions to be taken by governments, schools, researchers, parents, the food and beverage industry, media companies, and those who set marketing practices to prevent the harmful consequences of food marketing to children.
The editorial was coauthored by the Rudd Center's Marlene Schwartz, PhD, Deputy Director; and Amy Ustjanauskas, BA, Research Assistant.
