Citing "a public health problem that will only get worse unless we take action," Federal Communications Commission [3] Chairman Kevin Martin announced a joint task force on child obesity [4]. The task force currently brings together mostly corporate and conservative members, including Walt Disney [5], media watchdog Parents Television Council [6] (which recently lauded General Mills for "family friendly advertising" [7] and specializes in indecency complaints to the FCC), and the Beverly LaHaye Institute [8], which opposes sex trafficking, promotes abstinence and attacks feminists [9]. Sesame Workshop and Children Now reportedly have also been invited to participate. Children Now's board chair is marketing consultant and former ad exec Jane Gardner. Sen. Sam Brownback [10] (R-Kan.), who urged Martin to create the task force, said that he did not consult with any other members of Congress. In the press conference announcing the task force, Sen. Brownback appeared to propose his own conclusion to the task force's work: further voluntary restrictions, rather than FCC regulations on media marketing to children. "If we start down the road of saying we're going to limit everything and we're going to do it with a regulatory regime, I think you get everybody in a quick adversarial relationship." The Institute of Medicine [11] of the National Academies has already recommended specific food marketing restrictions.
