Advertising to children is a recurring idea in the book. Fast food advertising campaigns to children are quite sophisticated. Within their corporate structures are child psychologists who recommend the types of advertising that will work at various stages of child development. The immediate goal is to get kids to "nag their parents and nag them well"; the long-term goal is to establish brand loyalty for a lifetime.
