LEAVE SPONGEBOB ALONE
The food police are going after Bikini Bottom!
An advocacy group wants companies to stop marketing junk food to children. They’re targeting two titans in a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
They’re going after the companies behind Tony the Tiger and Spongebob Squarepants: Kellogg foods and Viacom, owner of Nickelodeon TV.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest says junk food is making American kids unhealthy, and is threatening to sue for a billion dollars if they won’t tone down ads aimed at kids.
Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest voices the ultimatum the companies face, “Companies can do it voluntarily, or they can be sued. It’s their choice.”
The suit would be filed in Massachusetts on behalf of a mother of three, claiming deceptive and unfair marketing as being aimed at unsuspecting youngsters. Mother Sherri Carlson says, “Are Pop Tarts and Fruit Loops really part of a nutritious breakfast as they claim in their ads? I think not.”
Message to food extortionists: Parents can turn off the TV voluntarily and buy their kids granola for breakfast. It’s their choice. Leave Spongebob alone.
