Yale researcher Marlene Schwartz will be the next director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at Yale. Schwartz, who is currently associate director of the center, succeeds Kelly Brownell, who co-founded the Rudd Center with Leslie Rudd in 2005.

Despite food company pledges to advertise only healthier foods to children, a Yale Rudd Center study finds that companies place billions of ads for unhealthy foods and beverages on children’s websites. The study is the first to evaluate banner and other display advertising on websites that are popular with children, such as Nick.com and CartoonNetwork.com. The study is published online in Pediatric Obesity and was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
