I think that once again democrats lead the way in telling us how to live. When we all have to fasten seat belts while sitting at our desks and give 100% of our salaries straight to the government so we don't do something stupid with it, they might be happy.
As for Disney, I see this as a smart move on their part. Disney media channels are pretty lucrative anyway - telling a whole class of advertiser that they can't advertise anymore just pushes those advertisers to their secondary properties like ABC and ESPN - raising their average sale per media buy in the process. They won't lose a dime and will probably make some good money off the move.

I find it comical the attacks I'm hearing against people who are simply concerned about public health. Portraying them as the "Mandatory Betterment" class, and "Food Puritans." If something identifiable (like excess sugar marketed to kids) is killing people early, and contributing to sky high medical costs for all of us, don't you think an attempt should be made to address it? And, the part that really cracks me up is it's the conservatives who are being the most critical--this from a group that feels like it needs to control who marries whom, who smokes what, and who does what to whom in the anus. Please. All the bunk about "saving traditional marriage" "saving families" and "saving our kids from seeing skin" pales in gravity to the early death (and please look up the facts before saying I exaggerate) that processed food and sugar in everything promises. Seems to me like the rule of conservatives is that if it can be marketed (e.g., Big Gulps) it's sacred , but if it can't (e.g., pot), or if it offends one's delicate religious sensibilities (e.g., gays), then they're all for banning it--freedom be damned.

Disney, like other privately owned channels, is jumping on the Obama bandwagon to " rid the world of dischord" by vainly banning junk food or associated acts.

I think she's trying to use her fame as a way to get at an issue that is a big deal in this country. Obesity is becoming a big problem for America. If I recall rightly this coming generation will not live as long as their parents do. I think it's a conversation we need to have.

if that is true ?! Awesome.... If you are pissed at that you don't know a thing about subconscious triggers and the power of advertising. America will be better for it!

The intention is understandable, but I think the impact will be negligible.

What ever. I will continue in my world. Disney can in theirs, the good think is that the two worlds rarely intersect.

banning commercials on one channel isnt going to make children stop enjoying junk food.
