This is a major reason why I am not too keen on my little one watching so much television and cartoons as well as buying her cartoon themed clothing, bedding, toys etc. Even LEGO has jumped on the bandwagon, LEGO Wonderpets, LEGO Hello Kitty. Every time I go to the supermarket with my little one she wants a specific cereal, yogurt or ice cream just if it has a cartoon character on the packaging!!!

It's so true...If you're interested in more information about children and marketing and trying to avoid it there are lots of good books by Marion Nestle
