 Monday, October 19th, 2009 04:27:00 Just like adults, children nowadays can access the Internet worlds without limits. The question is, can they judge and differentiate what is good or bad for them? Can they protect themselves from being trapped by advertisements from companies promoting their products or being scammed by strangers who they think is their friend or even protect themselves from pornography sites that suddenly pop up on their screens? Do they have enough knowledge or experience to make proper judgments? All these will affect their growth throughout their life and affect their moral values. So, how can we protect our children from such risks on the Internet? |

The federal government proposed sweeping new guidelines on Thursday that could push the food industry to overhaul how it advertises cereal, soda pop, snacks, restaurant meals and other foods to children.
Citing an epidemic of childhood obesity, regulators are taking aim at a range of tactics used to market foods high in sugar, fat or salt to children, including the use of cartoon characters like Toucan Sam, the brightly colored Froot Loops pitchman, who appears in television commercials and online games as well as on cereal boxes.
Regulators are asking food makers and restaurant companies to make a choice: make your products healthier or stop advertising them to youngsters.
