What’s this? Evil multinational profit-making capitalist corporation that isn’t owned by the state and isn’t stacked from top to bottom with Liberal Party appointees (Kraft) does what people want without being forced by liberal-left nanny-state laws and rules and regulations as brought to the floor by the ever-so-caring leftists of the NDP and Liberals*?
Kraft says their move is part of ‘healthy’ food trend. On it’s own! Without official government approval of that way of thinking! Soon those damned corporation thingy-dingies will be inventing life-saving drugs ‘n stuff!
Capitalism is wacky!

A shift toward marketing healthier foods to children is “is on the mind of all the food companies in North America,” said Alan Middleton, a professor of marketing York University’s Schulich School of Business. “Child obesity has become a huge issue.”
Kraft said Wednesday it would stop advertising products like Kool-Aid and Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies to children through television, print and radio ads.
The decision follows companies like McDonald’s Corp. and General Mills Inc., which are trying to capture the growing—and increasingly profitable—market of health-wise consumers as demand for high-fat foods drops.
Kraft has already removed trans fats from its products and has started selling snacks in 100-calorie packs. In 2004, the company withdrew all in-school marketing and set specific nutrition criteria for products sold in school vending machines. […]
They must be told to do this! They’re outta control! Vote liberal and stop all this!
