Disney restricts the advertising of junk-food on its child-focused television channels, radio stations and web sites in an attempt to reduce the impact of entertainment on childhood obesity. The new advertising standards apply to all programs targeting children under 12.
In addition to the restrictions on junk-food advertising, Disney is planning to reduce the amount of sodium by 25 percent in the children meals distributed in its amusement parks.
In addition to the restrictions on junk-food advertising, Disney is planning to reduce the amount of sodium by 25 percent in the children meals distributed in its amusement parks.
Disney's standards are in accord with the recommendations of the federal regulators aimed at promoting healthy eating standards and preventing obesity.
The implementation of the new set of advertising regulations was delayed due to the company's existing contracts with companies who such as Capri Sun drinks and Kraft Lunchables meals.
Disney's announcement follows NY mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to ban the sale of large sized sugary drinks.
