The companies announced their new rules ahead of a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Wednesday that steps up pressure on the companies to help solve the growing child obesity problem through more responsible marke
36、ting. The self-given rules include promises by seven companies who will no longer use licensed characters, such as those made popular through movies or TV shows, to advertise online or in print media unless theyre promoting their healthier products. Four other companies said they do not advertise at
37、 all to children under 12. “I think this is a very good step forward. Its not the end of the journey but its a good way down the road,” said Margo Wootan, Nutrition Policy Director at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. Since the FTC first publicly raised the issue in 2005, many
38、 of the companies have started selling products with better nutrition in mind. The companies hope their self-regulation efforts o rganized through the Council of Better Business Bureaus will fend off any new and more strict federal regulation. Parents are happy to see new rules that restrict the use

44、4】 D Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an agricultural revolution. On the farm of today, machines provide all the power. One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them ru
45、n their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer prog
