Abstract | This report discusses commercialism in schools and its possible connection to student health. Sections of the report are titled as follows: "The Context in Which School Commercialism Flourishes"; "Schoolhouse Commercialism: Marketing Methods"; "Nutrition-Related Marketing in Schools"; "Exclusive Agreements with Soft Drink Bottlers: Two Examples"; "Schools' Dilemma: Money or Health"; "The Money Children Spend"; "Health Policy Implications of Schoolhouse Commercialism"; "Community Opposition"; "Professional Guidelines"; "Legislation"; "Litigation"; and "The Research Needed." The report concludes that as recently as 20 years ago, there was a broad national consensus that public education should be free of commercial pressure on students. Research has documented, however, that pressure on schools to permit a broad array of marketing activities is now intense and pervasive. Appended are examples of school commercialism; examples of nutrition-related commercialism; and a summary of federal and state health-related legislation. (Contains 62 references.) (WFA) |
