House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee Chairman Ed Markey (D-MA) sent letters to Chuck E. Cheese, Nestlé, ConAgra, Dannon and Yum! Brands asking them to restrict the marketing of their snack foods. That comes as Markey praised Burger King for announcing that it would adopt restrictions on the marketing of its food to children. “Burger King is making a whopper of a commitment to public health by voluntarily setting nutrition standards on advertising directed at children," said Rep Markey. "It is important that other food and beverage companies step up and match the efforts these 12 companies are making.”
