Food Ads • increase in new products targeted specifically to children
and youth over the past decade • $10 billion to market foods, beverages, and meals to U.S.
children and youth in 2004 • strong evidence that television advertising influences the
food and beverage preferences and purchase requests of children ages 2 through 11 years old
• promotion of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods in most ads
• statistical association between ad viewing and obesity is
strong

Sample PetitionFilm companies are undermining efforts of parents who are trying to shield their children from
media violence by actively marketing PG-13 films to young children. Examples of this include:
Burger King Iron Man toy giveaways for preschoolersIndiana Jones LunchablesIncredible Hulk toys for children as young as threeThe Dark Knight Cheerios
The MPAA has refused to stop this behavior. By signing this petition, you are telling Carl Levin that it is time to force the MPAA to start marketing movies in a manner appropriate for their ratings by introducing legislation that will require them to do so.
