This morning I tip my hat to Disney, who has become the first major media company to ban junk food ads on programs for children, on Disney XD and during the Saturday morning programs on Disney-owned ABC television stations. This ban also extends to the Disney Channel and Disney Junior. First lady, Michelle Obama says “This new initiative is truly a game-changer for the health of our children.” Thanks, Disney. With an estimated total of $7.2 million in advertising money from these foods, this is a very, very bold move and I, for one, appreciate your willingness to put the health of our youth above the almighty dollar.

On another note, I was wondering why my legs felt sore when I was at work yesterday. Then I thought of you, Bonni, inspiring me to do some lunges and squats while walking Slinky (she spends lots of the ‘walk time’ sniffing the foliage and eating grass – while I used to stand idly by). It’s great to squeeze in some exercise throughout the day… Thanks again for the inspiration!
WOW ! This is HUGE. I totally love this idea and hope others follow suit.
