A QUICK LOOK AT HOW SOME COUNTRIES ADVERTISE FOOD TO KIDS

* Ireland: All television commercials for fast food and candy are banned.
* Sweden/Norway/Austria/Luxembourg: All television advertising to children is banned.
* Belgium/France/Portugal/Vietnam: All marketing is banned in schools.
* United States: Spending more per child than any other nation in the world, the U.S. plugs $15 billion per year into marketing food to kids, which is more than what it would cost to provide health insurance for all uninsured children.
