Will banning fast food adverts during children's adverts realy work in stopping obesity?


Opinions and scientific information are welcome as answers.
More info on the subject is on the Yahoo or BBC website.

I don't think it will, my kids eat what I say. If we go to Mcds etc it's because it's my choice, not because they saw an advert on tv. If kids eat at these places more than once a week then it's the parents fault, not an adverts. Thats my opinion, I don't have any scientific info on this, just my common sense!!
No. It's up to the parents to provide a nutritious meal for their kids. Advertising or not at childrens TV time will have little impact.
no the kids can still see all the food around shops and around towns
Maybe, like they have the McDonald's ads were the kids are like, "I play soccer, and then I go to McDonald's for lunch" It's great that there saying kids should work out, but eating stuff from fast foods places were the food is about 2000 calories isn't. They just totally ruined the reason they exercised to begin with
i do beleive it will help. Out of Sight Out of Mind.

its also maybe on a larger part the responsibility of the parrents to ensure their kids eat healthy. Unfortunately most children with obecity, have either 1 or 2 obece Parrents.
no. Because you can't stop people from over eating or binge eating. It sounds promising, but there are still markets full of junk and people with no will power to slow down or back off.
No
