To anyone following the ins and outs of food industry “self-regulation” of marketing to kids, here is a gift – courtesy of Margo Wootan of Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). Margo forwards a set of background papers and speeches on the topic. I’ve posted some of these earlier, but it is good to have them in one place.
2. Elaine Kolish’s December speech in response to the Children Now study. She is the head of the industry kids’ self-regulation unit at the Better Business Bureau. Her conclusion: self-regulation is working.
