The food industry – through the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI) – has recognized that companies should not target advertising for unhealthy foods and beverages directly to children 11 years and younger. However, they consider children ages 12 and older to be appropriate targets for marketing that encourages consumption of products that can harm their health. Yet recent research provides convincing evidence that unhealthy food marketing also negatively affects children 12 years and older. Given the likely negative impact of food marketing on all children’s diets and health, food and media companies should expand self- regulation to protect children through their most developmentally vulnerable period, at least until age 14. Parents would support such actions, and companies would demonstrate that they are truly committed to being part of the solution to childhood obesity. If the food and media industries refuse to protect older children voluntarily, federal, state, and local policymakers could regulate many common food marketing practices.

In 2010, researchers at the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity issued Fast Food FACTS. The report examined the nutritional quality of fast food menus, advertising on TV and the internet, and marketing practices inside restaurants. Three years after our first report – using the same methods as the original Fast Food FACTS – this report quantifies changes in the nutritional quality of fast food and how it is marketed to children and teens
