Ban on Fast Food Ad's Reduce Consumption of Junk Food?

Source:http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2012/01/19/study_quebec_ban_on_fastfood_ads_reduced_consumption_of_junk_food_.html
Summary: In Quebec, a study was conducted between 1984 - 1992, to see if a ban on fast food ads would reduce the sales of junk food. Every week, the expenditures went down 13%.

Critique: This might help the US in achieving a healthier country. Child obesity is a problem, and with less advertising, there might be less buying.

Impact: I think this is a great idea in working towards healthier children.
