Default New Target of the Food Police (CSPI)

* Krispy Kreme "Good Grades" program offers elementary school kids
one doughnut for each "A" on their report cards. CSPI points out that
some states wisely prohibit or discourage using food as a reward for
good behavior or academic performance.


Really? Is it really against the law in some states to give a kid a doughnut
for getting an A or behaving himself?

* Pepsi's website profile of New York Yankees baseball star Jason
Giambi, which prominently displays the quote, "I usually have several
Pepsis each day-it really lifts me up," is one of many examples of a
junk-food marketer linking consumption of its product with fitness.


Should Pepsi only use old fat ugly people for its pitchmen?
