The other day Sym ate a bowl of Shreddies to keep "hunger locked up til lunch" only to discover he was starving again by 11am! He said "I cant believe i was brainwashed by that advert". It's weird because Sym hardly ever watches TV.

Fair enough, McDonalds marketing is bad. They even target sick kids in hospitals.

Matt, I'd love the government to spend more money on helping good nutrition. Things are being improved in schools already. I wouldn't mind forbidding marketing at schools altogether, too.

I guess the problem is...
Parents have responsibility BUT some are under-educated or can't cope.
Governments have responisbility BUT have to find a balance between education, looking after children and money.
Companies, in my opinion, don't really have that responsibility.
By the way, who targets supermarkets that sell fastfood? Why is it always McDo and Burger King?

What balance are you talking about, Brigit? I think that its up to democractic governments to look protect the most vulnerable people within any society as one of its most basic priorities.

And why is it that we don't expect corporations to be ethical and responsible? Is it because its an unreasonable expectation, or because over history they have shown themselves to be unethical to a fault? Corporations should conduct themselves with the same moral standards as individuals, and be held to the same benchmark.

As for supermarkets, I agree. However, you don't see Safeway or Coles advertising directly to children - the marketing tactics are less overt and to a large extent, less agressive. That being said, they should have the same level of responsibility.

Which is why it is up to us, as constituents and as consumers, to make ourselves heard. We have the vote and the money. Until *we* take responsibility for our part in this equation, our children will be held hostage to corporate profits.

There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

As a corporation you also have a duty to your employees, to try and keep them in work. This won't necessary work if you're ethical.

Maybe they are less aggressive than McDonald's, but that's largely because they don't need to be that aggressive.

By acting ethically, even charitably, they have carved out a niche market and are making fat profits from "unprofitable" customers. If we demand companies act ethically, it won't necessarily have any effect on their bottom line.

If you demand that corporations act ethically then you need to be able to find someone to complain to that they are being unethical.
