This week on Food For Thought, I look at changes Kellogg’s is making to the way it markets its food products to children and hear from some health professionals about how processed food advertising effects young viewers, listeners and surfers.
Here is the mp3 audio file of this week’s program.

Here is an interesting commentary on the move from the National Post newspaper. (this link may not work if the Post moves the commentary to its paid archive section in a few days)

One of the people you heard from in today’s story was Michele Simon from the Center for Informed Food Choices.
Michele has authored a new book, Appetite for Profit. She talked about it at the conference I attended, but I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet.
