Read more about how advertisers get inside the minds of kids in these books: Consuming Kids: Protecting Our Children from the Onslaught of Marketing and Advertising by Susan Linn; Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers’ Schemes by Sharon Lamb and Lyn Mikel Brown; and Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers by Alissa Quart.

For vegan parents, we offer these extra ad-busting tips: ◆ If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Some fruits and veggies now place cartoon characters and other kid-friendly celebs on their packages and stickers. If your child is more likely to eat a snack pack of baby carrots with Dora the Explorer on it, buy it.

◆ Explain the art of advertising to your child. Educate yourself about the types of advertising and the methods advertisers use to prompt food cravings in people and explain them to your child in kid-friendly language.

◆ Dive into veg-positive media. Petakids.com and others have fantastic vegan celeb promos, ads for vegan foods, and even vegan merchandise like T-shirts, backpacks, stickers, and bracelets your kids can use to promote their views on eating to the world.

◆ When you and your older child see a billboard, magazine ad, or television commercial that uses an animal to promote a food product made from that animal, write a letter together to the company to express your opinion.
