I've just read an article that Disney plans on banning all advertising that relates to junk food in an effort to "fight childhood obesity".

Last week, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on sales of super-sized sugary drinks in delis, arenas, restaurants &cinemas.

And who can forget the rumors from several years ago, that the Cookie Monster would be morphing into some kind of  "Veggie Monster"?



Is changing the behavior of  imaginary childhood characters or banning products and their advertising really the answer? And if it is, where do we draw the line? Are we just fooling ourselves into thinking that we are doing something effective to address our health problems when we really are not?
