Interestingly enough, ethical values the AMA sets forth is dealing more with stake holders rather than clients or customers the marketer serves. Based on these core values, specifically honesty, responsibility, fairness and transparency, General Mills, does not measure up, especially where consumers are concerned. General Mills is has been known to blur the line on honesty and market the products as being healthier for the consumer that what they really are. (Cite Source) They to not play fair and are not responsible as seen in their ongoing advertising campaign that targets children. Simply put, General Mills has an unfair advantage in their campaign because kids are to young and mentally underdeveloped to understand the impact of their desires; whereas, the Cereal Giant knows this, preys and exploits this comprehension gap in children and their
This also aims to convince the consumer group that they are making the right decision in choosing to use a particular brand (No Author, 2012). Coca-Cola has done this through marketing this product to young adults and adults who are known to skip breakfast and sometimes lunch. This drink provides a healthy replacement when not able to have a meal. This product allows the adult to have something healthy versus something unhealthy such as chips, candy, or other types of junk food. This product is also aimed at the health conscious adult that does not want to eat unhealthy.
A healthy diet is important in the process of preventing childhood obesity, along with an appropriate caloric intake. The easiest way to prevent obesity is by reducing caloric intake, not discontinue eating some foods completely. Diets that forbid favorite foods are not likely to be successful (AHA, 2008). Avoid using food as a reward or a punishment (MayoClinic, 2012). When parents reward their children with sugary foods (cake, candy, ice cream, etc.)
The article “Junking Junk Food”, by Judith Warner, is one that explains two sides to the national obesity problem in the United States. She starts her article by talking about Sarah Palin's objections to the “Obama nanny state” which she believes is out to infringe upon the peoples right to eat whatever they please (401). Glenn Beck is also cited in her paper as objecting to the idea of government regulation. His anger over the issue includes reports of government health inspectors shutting down a 7 year old's lemonade stand (401). With about two-thirds of Americans being obese, the Obama administration has been fighting hard to help Americans with the issue of obesity.

Purpose of Study The purpose of this blind taste test study is to reject a null hypothesis that states there is no obvious difference between two widely known sweeteners, sugar substitute Splenda and sugar. The end goal of this experiment is to prove that under the same circumstances, same use of product in both hot and cold liquids, there is not a difference between the tastes of these sweeteners. H0 – There is no difference in taste between Sugar and Splenda H1 - There is a difference in taste between Sugar and Splenda Method Because I personally use Splenda instead of sugar, I have knowledge of the differences that involves dissolving Splenda in liquid when using for cold liquids, such as ice tea, kool-aid, lemonade etc. I have learned that Splenda dissolves in liquid at different
A 100% tax on junk food and beverages would help pay for the collateral damages of this industry: the $150 billion in diet-related disease and health-care costs now incurred by the public and taxpayers for obesity and diabetes. Chicago laws strictly curbing school sales of junk food and sweetened drinks may play a role in slowing childhood obesity, according to a study that seems to offer the first evidence such efforts could pay off. The results come from the first large national look at the effectiveness of the state laws over time. The results are minor but “what are the downsides of improving the food environment for children today?” asked Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard Medical School and Boston’s Children Hospital. “You can’t get much worse than what it already
