Children's Coalition: IOM Panel Lacks Objectivity
Source: Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood is challenging the objectivity of the Institute of Medicine's upcoming "Workshop on Marketing Strategies that Foster Healthy Food and Beverage Choices in Children and Youth."
