Advertising impact on kids examined
Are children and advertising an unhealthy mix?
Peace Mennonite Church and the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood are sponsoring a meeting to address the question. They will be showing a 67-minute movie, “Consuming Kids,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. The public is invited to watch the film.
A discussion following the movie will be led by Andrea Follmer Greenhoot, Kansas University associate professor of cognitive and developmental psychology; Joanna Harader, minister at Peace Mennonite Church; and Gary Brunk, director of the Topeka-based nonprofit Kansas Action for Children.
