Don't be duped by these food ads

Madison Avenue is alive and kicking, not just on TV but in ads, posts, and videos on social media, YouTube, you name it. Food companies make it so easy. They dress up refined carbs with a dash of vegetables. Or turn up the protein in candy. Or find a new ploy to sell water. What could go wrong?

Report: Recommendations to Promote Healthy Retail Food Environments

The goal of this report is to make recommendations for policy, voluntary actions, and research areas to support in-store and online food environments that make healthy food and beverage choices easier for all consumers. All shoppers face barriers to purchasing nutritious food in a retail environment that disproportionately promotes unhealthy food products. However, retail marketing has an even greater impact on shoppers who use SNAP. The recommendations outlined in this report were informed by a convening of industry, SNAP participant, and public health stakeholders, and are grounded in the promotion of equitable access to healthy foods for all residents of the US.
