Advertising influences the choices we make, but what do we do when advertising starts effecting our children's health? To prevent our children from being bombarded by unhealthy food marketing--whether it's a television commercial, an internet advertisement, or food placement at the supermarket--we must ensure our children are exposed, and have access to, healthy eating options. This session will explore what groups are most heavily targeted by marketers and what public health advocates can do to take the remote out of the marketer's hands and ultimately change the channel.
