CHILDHOOD-OBESITY REPORT DELAYED AGAIN
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The report from the government-industry task force on obesity was not released Wednesday. The task force said it would be a few more weeks. It will be the second time the report has been delayed. It was originally scheduled for mid-July, but it was pushed back until September in part to allow some of the companies involved to unveil their own individual initiatives to cut the marketing fat. According to several sources, the hold-up has been getting some of the children's activist groups on board, as they believe the recommendations don't go far enough.
