A Public Marketing Campaign Against Junk Food?

I’ve started to see this anti-smoking ad (click for more detail) recently in subway stations and bus shelters. I think it’s a great campaign, forcing us think about where tobacco addiction begins.

Should there be a similar public push to demonize junk food? Would the school kids waiting for the next train—many eating processed chips and cookies and drinking heavily-sugared sodas and juices—pay any heed?

Yes, absolutely. It would be great if such a campaign led to a general boycott of the vast amount of junk food and increased the marketability of fresh produce, organic foods and whole foods.
