From the article:
General Mills and Campbell join Kellogg and Kraft Foods in going beyond the industry initiative's basic minimum requirement, which asks advertisers to devote 50% of their marketing toward more healthful foods and lifestyles.
This is certainly a step in the right direction, as many children receive most of their information from their peers and the TV.
