Product placement and advertising over the years has invaded everything from the sidewalks we walk on, the roads we drive on, and this is especially so when it comes to the television that we watch. You could say that advertisement and T.V. have become synonymous with one another.

As fully developed adults advertising greatly affects our choices. Imagine the impact that these advertisements have on children.

For a child, cartoons play a significant role on the decisions they make regarding their daily food choices. Heres the cites: Kraak, V. I., and M. Story.
