Consuming Kids - Advertising World Part 6 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.

Hell, if I have kids, I'm moving to the mountains, away from society, and creating a healthy life for my kids. This makes me sick.

Thanks for uploading :)

question:

are these REAL mental illnesses or is it just the pharmaceutical industry trying to sell us products for our children?

is there really a difference between a toy and a pill in a sense that they both are targetet at children and both make a profit?

plastic and pills have something else in common:

they can be produced cheaply and in mass and sell for hundreds of percents of their production cost.

@MrStillmans yeah parents think that kids being hyper is wrong maybe its because they don't go out side or move around... they say that needs a medication its the same with dogs you cant keep it inside all the time and think they will be fine
