Keep The Little Consumers Coming

This week Disney announced with much fanfare that it’s setting nutrition guidelines on the food it markets to kids. The media reported this “news” with the usual exaggeration and lack of analysis.

While some advocates praised the move, others were more critical. So I decided I better weigh in. The result was the lead story on yesterday's AlterNet.

Feel free to add to the comments section either here or on my site. It’s quite a heated debate already.
