Marketing to kids is a Bad Idea, and honestly, it takes five secods to figure out what's causing kids to gain weight. More calories, less exercise, and the calories are generally of poor quality. How much do calories correlate? So much that, by state, I can correlate percentage of children who are obese to number of fast food restaurants per square kilometer. I don't even want to think what obesity is going to do to them during puberty. I thought Daffy was Warner Brothers, but otherwise, yeah.
