Are cereal and junk food makers responsible for childhood obesity?


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070614/ap_o...

Kellogg Co. avoided a lawsuit by agreeing to cut calories, sodium, fats, and sugars from their cereals and stop targeting their advertising at children.

Does the blame lie with Kellogg and other breakfast and junk food manufacturers? Did Kellogg Co. take the right steps, or should they have gone to trial?

Kellogg's efforts are nice, and they should make a healthier product. But Kellogg doesn't place their products in kids' homes; parents do that.

If it's unhealthy, don't buy it. I don't.
umm ya
they adversitse it for children to buy it all the time which would encourage children to want to eat it more..
no lazy kids are, they play videogames all day and are on the computer instead of going outside to burn off all the food they eat
Parents are to blame for letting their kids eat the junk food. It's hard to resist a full scale tantrum in the super market or while passing a fast food place, but it is part of the job of being a parent.
Nope. The blame lies with the people who buy the stuff for their kids. Or, who buy it and let them chow down on it and don't see that it is used in moderation!!

I think they could have won the lawsuit, but I guess maybe they were scared about too much negative publicity!
Many things are causing the obesity, food companies,fast food restaurants, video games keeping kids plastered in front of the tv instead of outside,television in general, schools for their fatty lunches,parents------------the list goes on and on
Kellogg is doing the right thing, but the blame doesn't lay solely on manufacturers and advertisers. Parents have control over what kids eat and watch. We can't blame TV for our laziness in minding our kids' nutritional habits.
