Did you Know...?

What do you think?

  • A typical child ses about 40,000 television advertisements a year.
  • Many of the food products advertised are "low nutrient, calorie dense foods"
  • Studies have shown that kids respond to the onslaught of junk food ads by eating more frequently and larger quantities.

Junk Food Challenge - finish the advertising quote.

  • "yo quiero________________ "
  • Who says, "We love to see you smile?"
  • Who says, "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face?"
  • Who says, "Think outside the bun?"
  • Who says, "They're Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat?"
  • "Leggo my _______ "
  • "Silly Rabbit ________ are for kids!"
  • Who says, "I'm lovin' it?"
  • Who says, "Where's the beef?"

How do we know this? Advertising. The food industry spends $10,000,000,000 annualy compared to $2,000,000 spent on the 5-a-day Campaign.

Go figure...
