They would love for everybody to just keep arguing over who's paying these sky-high prescription drug prices while ignoring the simple fact that prevention programs and junk food advertising bans could make prescription drugs practically irrelevant. Of course, all these drug companies say they need the money to "find a cure for cancer." What a brilliant con!

When I think about how food companies target children, I like to break it down into two categories: schools and everywhere else. Nutrition advocates are trying to rid school vending machines of soda and junk food, but companies are lobbying hard against those efforts. The battle for "everywhere else" creates its own set of challenges.

Look at the deluge of junk food advertising aimed at kids that we see today. CARU has given the green light to all of it!9 Food law expert Ellen Fried, a researcher with the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, agrees that CARU is largely ineffective, even when the agency tries to reprimand advertisers. "I've read enough case reports to see the same waltz repeatedly danced between CARU and food companies.
