If you watch TV, then ads pushing junk food are familiar, but according to a recent study, African American and Hispanic consumers in the U.S. are disproportionately exposed to junk food and sugary drinks commercials.
The Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at the University of Connecticut found that of the more than $1 billion spent annually on advertising to blacks and hispanics, 86 percent of spending targeting black consumers and 82 percent aimed at hispanics was for junk food and sugary drinks.
