I am extremely disappointed by the recurrent charges and
finger-pointing of Senator Harkin regarding food advertising and marketing to
children. Yesterday, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) spoke at the annual joint
AAF/AAAA/ANA Government Affairs Conference commenting on the advertising
industry and his opinions on the affect that he believes it is having on the
child obesity issue in the
U.S. Senator Harkin's comments are listed here (PDF).
The ANA, AAAA and AAF presented Senator Harkin with this letter (PDF) at the conference yesterday, in response to a letter he sent in March
which included many of the same criticisms of the ad industry included in his speech.
