Coalition of Food Advertising to Children
The Coalition on Food Advertising to Children (CFAC) is concerned about all forms of unhealthy food marketing to children. CFAC is calling for a ban on unhealthy television food advertising during broadcast periods when high numbers of children are watching TV, and also for better regulation of other forms of marketing to children.
CFAC was formed in 2002 to address the issue of food marketing to children and to advocate for improvements in food marketing regulations.
