Marketing companies often promote junk food ads to kids, who are at risk of not growing up with a healthy weight.
The Council of Better Business Bureaus announced that six candy companies have now agreed not to advertise their brands to kids.
These brands, Brach’s, Lemonhead, Ghirardelli, Jelly Belly, Mike and Ike, and Welch’s Fruit Snacks, are all now part of the first companies to participate in the Children’s Confection Advertising Initiative.
One way to ensure that the candy industry uniformly rejects advertising to children, explains the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), is to recognize the progress these companies have made.
CSPI encourages those interested in supporting these healthy efforts, to share a “thank you” to these companies on social media.
