I recently learned that Mexico banned the use of cartoon characters for advertising products to children that contain excessive amounts of sugar and other harmful additives. What do you think of this? Should they do something similar in the US? I had never really thought about it that much, but it does seem odd that we're allowed to do that 🤔

Ban all advertising to children.

Ban all children

People decades and centuries from now will look back on our era of extremely processed high-sugar foods, appalled and speechless at our recklessness.

Some countries are seeing the rise of adolescent obesity and rising weight throughout the population and beginning to take action, good for them.

I also believe cigarette brands should be allowed to use cartoon mascots. look how cool this guy is.

"The law, which was passed back in 2018, is to help combat childhood obesity. Researchers say marketing unhealthy foods to children using cartoon characters is influencing their decisions on what to eat."

That's an interesting approach, have there been any studies on its efficacy? I can't see it ever happening here in the US, but maybe I'm wrong.

Obama banned advertising sugary foods to kids now she launched a sugar drink for kids

Reduced tar and nicotine is great . It’s all marketing to make people ill

The concept is fine, but it also comes down to the people caring for and feeding these kids too. Advertising absolutely impacts decisions, but being educated about them is the most important thing. Cartoon characters or not, kids will more than likely still want the sugar cereal.

Sure by adults provide the food . I raised a family never once had a package sugar product in the house . Not a drink not a cereal . They eat what you provide

Yes

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?
