August 28, 2000 – This is some of
the candy that Primedia’s Channel One advertises to schoolchildren.
Remember how hungry you would get in school. Channel One knows
they have a hungry captive audience. One commercial Channel One
ran for years was a "Hungry? Why Wait?" commercial for
Snickers. Snickers made Channel One a lot of money. These other
candy bars did too. Sugar has been bad for many teens and pre-teens,
but not for Channel One executives. It’s sort of ironic that Channel
One fat cats got richer off of children becoming fatter.
It is insane to be advertising this junk
food to schoolchildren. Please start an effort to kick this heartless
marketing company out of your schools. There is no way an educator
can defend this.
