hasn't done enough and that you've been intimidated by the food industry — but I remain grateful for all you have been able to accomplish, whether it's nudging Disney toward a junk
food ad ban or brokering a creative licensing deal between the Sesame Street Workshop and the Produce Marketing Association.
and voluntary industry efforts like the Disney junk
food ad ban, I've also acknowledged the weakness of the former and the frequent corporate abuses of voluntary schemes like the latter.
Maine wants to
ban its residents on
food stamps from buying soda and sweets, San Francisco approved health warnings on
ads for sugary drinks, and the government and big
food companies are still going back - and - forth on mandatory labeling.
