not true they don;t just use Latinos they use all colors. Your reports are full of lies

There’s two basic points of advertising. You’re target is usually the business you don’t have yet but want. Or... toward you’re customers with new products. Look at it either way you’d like.

The menu’s I see inside eatery’s I frequent the menu’s are clearly marked with calorie information.

I don't need a report to see where the most recent ads for alcoholic beverages are targeted.

Gotta use that SNAP card on something

Stop supporting these poisonous companies and buy fresh vegetables and fruit. Our parents grew up with gardens and made fresh homemade meals.

Companies do market research. They find out what people like. They sell it to them. It's called business.

Well ABC I thought the the school teachers were teaching the students about Health and Welfare turns out they're not doing such a good job huh

Enough already ABC News with your race related stories. This is a rediculous accusation. Fast food preys on all American youth

Run for the hills!! The spicy Asiago ranch is targeting my black hunger!!

I could have told you that. Just watch their commercials

If profiling doesn't work, then why is anyone concerned?

Food in America is designed to turn us all into blobs of lard

I’m Latino & I think it’s cost, not a race issue. A fruit cup costs 4 bucks at these places, while you can get full off a few unhealthy $1 menu items. One could argue more blacks/Latinos are middle class/poverty level. It costs too much to eat healthy, so it hits us harder.

😡😡😡

And what report is that? lol

cuz unhealthy foods are cheap and can also be bought with food stamps.

Food genocide.

Baloney...if you like unhealthy foods, you're going to eat them no matter what color you are. Have you forgotten all of the obese white people in America?

The race war wages on... We are targeted from seven ways to sunday.

Ya don't say?
