New study finds simple way to inoculate teens against junk food marketing

(University of Chicago Booth School of Business) A simple and brief intervention can provide lasting protection for adolescents against the harmful effects of food marketing.

The method works in part by tapping into teens' natural desire to rebel against authority.
