I think you are out of touch.<BR/><BR/>I was shocked when I did a stint on a school council to discover that kids ate potatoe crisps and coke for breakfast, if they had any, and the same, say twisties with chocolate bars etc for lunch. <BR/><BR/>Pies and pizza and chips would be a step up for some people.<BR/><BR/>I only realised the other day in the supermarket that there are more aisles for softdrink and packet crisps type stuff (and pet food) than there are food aisles.FXHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927037961123914689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-1154015141722298272006-07-28T01:45:00.000+10:002006-07-28T01:45:00.000+10:00Oops, Sweden not Sweeden.Oops, Sweden not Sweeden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-1154011529879271012006-07-28T00:45:00.000+10:002006-07-28T00:45:00.000+10:00Like you, I'm more worried about kids than adults....Like you, I'm more worried about kids than adults. The latter can make up their own minds. The former are terribly cognitively and socially vulnerable to this sort of advertising. Taking a liberal attitude to some advertising is fine when we are talking about reasonably developed individuals but all the evidence points to kids simply not being developed – they’re kids, right?? <BR/><BR/>I do agree with Jason that kids don't have to be (in fact, shouldn't be) given everything they want but wonder if the level and sophistication of advertising pressure he faced was similar to the level and sophistication that children (and parents) face today. <BR/><BR/>What do you think about stricter regulation such as the restriction of advertising of any kind that is aimed at children – as I understand is the case in Sweeden?
