Food for Thought: An Evening of Socially Relevant Cinema

Thursday, June 18 7:00 PM
Cost: $6

Consuming Kids - The Commercialization of Childhood
Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-million dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation.

Film followed by panel discussion.
