We're Not Buying It! Neither should you.

Childhood obesity? It's the fault of bad parenting, blame the vituperative Nannygate crowd. In every balanced article about overweight and obese children, the accompanying online comment section is filled with nasty messages about parental responsibility. 

Far too few comments talk about the environment in which our children are being raised. How can parents counter the relentless clever marketing and advertising of unhealthy foods and beverages by junk food and soda companies?

These companies claim to care about our kids, but do they?

"We're not buying it!" is the Prevention Institute's compelling new video. I bet if you watch it you won't buy the food and beverage industry's arguments either.

The same industry that bombards our children with billions of dollars of deceptive advertising each year is currently fighting against legislation that would ban fast food commercials during children's programming.

At the end of the video is a link to a petition you can sign if you want your voice to be heard.
