I know that David Ludwig is right about food advertising getting kids to eat badly. A recent test of food wrapped in a fast-food container and the same food in a generic container showed that tiny children always pick the brand name. Imagine what our teens have been programmed to do! I don’t think, however, that it’s practical to suggest our kids have to do a physical exercise in front of the TV in order to watch it. And also, what should they be doing in front of the computer, which is just as sedentary?
