But such a narrow framing of the issue ignores the larger problem caused by a $12 billion industry aimed at getting children to eat the wrong kinds of foods. The policy solutions set forth in the Articles of this Symposium, Simon observes, each take aim at this seemingly intractable problem. In reviewing the authors' individual contributions to the junk-food marketing debate, she notes that together, they set the foundation for positive policy change that will recapture control over children's health.
