Parents, schools, companies, public spaces ... we all have a role to play when it comes to promoting the health of our kids. This year MomsRising is paying special attention to the role of marketing on kids. Ads regularly target our kids when we're not around. While many companies have taken steps to establish standards around marketing to children, there's still much more work to do. Here are two easy ways to get involved:
Compel Companies to Protect Kids from Junk Food Marketing
Tell the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative to encourage its member companies to adopt expert recommendations and do more to protect kids from junk food marketing! Taking action is so easy - click here to get started.
Demand Nickelodeon Stop Pushing Junk Food on Kids
Tell Nickelodeon to do the right thing and adopt strong nutrition standards for advertisements and marketing through its entire child-directed media! Our children are more than big business. Add your voice, you savvy superparent!
