Marketing Food to Children

Dear Sciencegrrl
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), with input from leading experts in children’s health, has developed guidelines to provide companies who manufacture, sell, market, or otherwise promote food to children with criteria for marketing food to children in a manner that does not undermine children’s diets or harm their health.

You will find the “Guidelines for Responsible Food Marketing to Children” at: http://cspinet.org/marketingguidelines.pdf

To learn how you can use the Guidelines to make changes in your community, click on: http://cspinet.org/nutritionpolicy/guidelines_organizing_tool.pdf

For background information, see “Pestering Parents: How Food Companies Market Obesity to Children” at: http://www.cspinet.org/pesteringparents
