Advertising Affects The Health of America's Youth

Here's a story that I read recently in the Health section of CNN.com - I thought you might enjoy, even though if you're an ad lover, you might not love what the study has to say.

I do have to say, though, that we don't support advertising aimed directly at children. Especially not advertising that could lead to something damaging like drinking, smoking, etc. We agree - public health must trump capitalism when it comes to these types of issues.

What are your thoughts? I'm curious...
