b>Statement of CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo G. Wootan/b>br/>The federal government is headed in exactly the right direction with the draft nutrition standards proposed for foods that are marketed to children. If adopted, the landscape of kids food advertising would shift quite dramatically in favor of foods that promote health, and away from foods that promote obesity and disease. If these standards are adopted, it would be one of the most significant developments in this area in 30 years.

b>Statement of CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo G. Wootan/b>br/>General Millswhich has included whole grains in all its cerealsis taking another important step in the right direction by pledging to cut the sugar in the cereals it advertises to children. As sugary cereal is one of the top products marketed to children, we hope the company swiftly implements these changes and that Kellogg, Post Foods, and other competitors quickly follow General Mills lead.

b>Statement of CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson/b>br/>Simplified nutrition information on the fronts of food packages could be very helpful in enabling consumers to choose healthier packaged foods and have healthier diets. Unfortunately, though, a growing number of privately devisedand sometimes inconsistentlabeling systems may be confusing, not enlightening, some consumers. After all, foods like General Mills Cocoa Puffs or Kelloggs Froot Loops belong more in our food porn category than a better-for-you category.
