Report: The Soda Industry Continues Marketing to Children

The 2014 edition of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity’s Sugary Drink FACTS (Food Advertising to Children and Teens Score) report is out.

Not surprisingly, Big Soda continues to target children and teenagers through advertising (much of that increasingly happening via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and “advergaming”).

As we have mentioned before, one reason why we oppose the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ current sponsorship model is because many of the companies the Academy affiliates itself with — including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo — are notorious for marketing unhealthy fare to children and teenagers.
