Froot Loops, Apple Jacks and Pop Tarts are a few of the breakfast foods that young children will no longer see advertised on TV unless the foods can be reformulated to meet specific nutritional guidelines for calories, sugar and fat. Under pressure from watchdog groups, The Kellogg Company announced the voluntary change today and also said it would "stop using licensed characters or branded toys to promote such foods unless they meet the nutrition guidelines."

 EDITOR'S BLOG The 10th anniversary of the Good News Network is coming up at the end of August. HOW CAN WE MARK THE EVENT?
I would like to do something unique or exciting, something that would attract media publicity. Since I am a social creature and usually spend my time behind the computer, I would LOVE to have a gala party associated with this special birthday. (It would be in D.C. -- which is where I live and where the news media will be itching for stories on the slowest week of the year.) Can I find a sponsor to pay for the party? I want your creative ideas. Let's brainstorm and throw ideas around. Use the comments below. THANKS! |
