We can't hide this stuff from our kids - we have to teach them what's good and what's not and teach them healthy eating habits. Banning advertising, happy meal toys, and other initiatives strike me as the kiddie equivilant of abstinence-only education - it's still gonna be out there but your kid just won't be educated or prepared to deal with it.
