Buy DVD at http://www.mediaed.org

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.

zionist goal: you eat junk , you are dumbed down, then feed your mind garbage from TV, you are a new 21st century zionist slave likely to be a nuke victim.

This is not accidental. The type of society we live in today was carefully planned. The Mass Media, Corporations, and the Government are all heads on the same hydra.

The family is the mortal enemy of the Scientific Dictatorship and must be completely destroyed.

Brave New World is not a fiction book, it is a treatise of ongoing agenda. Aldus Huxley was a member of an entrenched elite. His brother was head of UNESCO.
