Ch 2 Questions 1.19.12

Discuss the fast food industry's marketing to children and explore the ethics of targeting children, especially as they relate to advertising in schools. 

 i think the idea of marketing was great for the company but then there's the fact that children are very easy to influence and the way they did it by adding playgrounds, the famous happy meal was a great start. The way i see it is they saw it as, you have the children, you have the parents as well. Some parents worked a lot and berly had time to spend with the children and since they felt bad, they took them to McDonald's. As to with schools, i agree it favored the economy and the districts who were having struggles. iDont agree with the fact that when you bring in fast food into schools, it might lead to obesity. i dont think its a good idea to promote that kind of food in a school. schools should promote on how to be healthy.
