While so much is being said about avoiding junk foods especially for children, the Walt Disney Co. made it clear that they won’t be airing any ad showing junk foods for kids on TV, radio stations and websites. It would be done in an attempt to keep kids away from luring food items which are mostly unhealthy.

It was further explained that all food stuff having in excess of 10 grams of sugar per serving would not be shown in ads and even there would not be any ad that air food with excess of 600 calories.
While these rules would take some more years to come into action, there is need for others in the same field to follow such measures for the betterment of the society.
