Healthy Eating
I have just received this link from Sylvia Martinez, Generation YES Blog. I have had a quick look and it has some interesting posts about healthy eating and advertising. This could be a useful link for us next term when we have Life Ed. You might like to add it to your Bloglines feeds.
The Get Outta My Face blog is written and managed by these teens to alert other teens to misleading advertising aimed at them and to do something about it.
We’re tired of being the fattest, most unfit generation ever. “Big industries” spend $12 billion a year advertising junk to us. Why? We influence tens of billions in spending. Healthcare costs will exceed $4 trillion just when we’ll be raising our families, we’re freaking out. We’ve got digital, communication, and tech-expertise no other generation’s ever had. Join us sharing energy, creativity and social action that’ll change the world. To junk food & big marketing – “Get outta my face!”
I’m sure the kids would appreciate some links and comments!
