What it doesSummary introduced in house (Jul 25, 2000)
Expresses the sense of Congress that the advertising industry should, in using models in advertisements likely to be viewed by adolescents or young adults, take into account: (1) the influence that these advertising models have on the self-images of adolescents and young adults; (2) that such models frequently portray physiques that cannot or should not be achieved by many adolescents and young adults; and (3) the importance of taking action to reduce the extent to which such models influence adolescents and young adults to engage in unhealthy eating habits, whether the reduction is achieved by using models who more closely approximate average, healthy individuals, by providing for public service announcements to counteract negative health influences, or by taking other appropriate action.
