Some interesting resources on the website of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest . These are the guys threatening legal action against Enviga , for misleading advertising.

The CSPI are based in the US and some of the brands and issues they mention are not relevant to us, here in Australia. However, their website has a section for kids and I particularly like the ””Trust Gus? quiz . The scenario:

Gus Bogus is a food industry spokesman who often stretches the truth, while trying to convince you to buy more products – can you spot the facts and the fictions?

Yes, it’s aimed at kids, but we all need to get a bit smarter at reading between the lines of food marketing and PR, so take a look.

I found this via the Shaping Youth blog.
