Consuming Kids is a brand new and critically-acclaimed film from the Media Education Foundation featuring the CCFC staff and Steering Committee. The film is an eye-opening account of the pervasive and pernicious effects of children’s advertising on the health and well-being of kids.

CCFC members all over the country are organizing local screenings of Consuming Kids. A screening is the perfect way to raise awareness about the commercialization of childhood and to connect with other local parents and activists.

This is just more proof of how hard we have to work as parents to teach our kids to be grateful, well-rounded, healthy, smart kids in spite of the messages they’re getting from tv and video games…
Being a good parent (of 5) is both exhausting and so rewarding. Thanks, for this.
