[SOURCE: Rep Ed Markey]
Rep Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, released the following statement in response to the announcement by Kellogg that it will not market food with high sugar and fat content on television and other media targeting children: "The ‘snap, crackle, and pop’ you hear is the sound of public health progress. I applaud Kellogg for this ‘smart start’ toward ending TV advertisements for sugary cereal and other so-called ‘junk food’ products to young children. I hope that the rest of the industry will adopt measures that, at a minimum, meet those of Kellogg’s."
