Disney cuts junk food advertising from its platforms

 


I honestly didnt know what to write about for this weeks topic but as i came across different things in websites and articles, i got interested in Disney Channel and just "Walt Disney" in total. Since i was little i have watched all the Thats so raven episodes and Hannah Montana reality shows. I could always connect to them no matter if they where good or bad. By the years passed and i began to realize things i found out that Disney was trying to not just to entertain kids but to educate them.
And to go back to my MAIN topic, resently Michelle Obama as yall may know her has made a club and contribuation with "Children obesity" which is a big dilema in alot of places and especially in kids. Regulation comes in place in here because  Disney channels is banning all food and beverage products advertised, sponsored or promoted on the Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney Junior, Radio Disney and Disney-owned online destinations intended for children 12 and under that do not fit certain nutritional standards by 2015.

  1. I started getting annoyed with all those Friends For Change ads Disney always has so my TV hasnt been on Disney Channel lately. I kind of like the fact that Disney is actually being smart and instead of using their ego for money, they use it to motivate kids to improve their well being. Im sure all you guys know who Josh Peck is. (If no, hes the guy from Drake and Josh) Im sure all you guys noticed all his weight loss in the last two seasons. I found it really cool that in an interview, Josh Peck actually said that he lost all that weight for his fans.

  2. I honestly love the fact that the Disney channel is doing this campain about eating right and being healthy. Which is an important part of life...but in my opininon although this canpain is trying to be insparational and supportive I think that... at the same time they are hurting the obese kids mentally, because they might feel really fat or over weight or have no confidence because they are taking these commercials off the air. Basically what I am trying to say is that it is a challenge for some people to lose weight. Let's be honest no human is perfect and it is imposible to be healthy 100%. But I am not trying to be mean but imagine our world this way...imagine there would no wars,economy problems, or no type of problem in general. Then it would be perfect and no point of living. So there will and always have to be obese kids or people.
