Consuming Kids - Advertising world Part 3 of 7

Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children's marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids.

Growing up like this i have become cynical of everything and have learned not to trust anyone. Every incentive to change our ways seems as transparent as a commercial. We are slaves to the corporations and the Earth is overpopulated.

@Frizzurd Same here, all the time I'm trying to look past what I initially see and try to find the hidden motive or meaning which most of the time is there. My dad says everyone has an ulterior motive behind what they do.
