			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By IPS Correspondents  and - -<br />MEXICO CITY, Jul 21 2007 (IPS) </p><p>The Mexican non-governmental group Consumer Power, whose complaint won the removal of children&#39;s breakfast cereal advertising from television, is now preparing action against similar ads and pushing for legislative regulation. <span id="more-121052"></span> In June, the group filed a complaint before the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer about an advertisement for Zucaritas cereal, made by Kellogg&#39;s, charging that it misled children that they would be able to jump three meters (10 ft) if they ate the cereal. </p>
<p>&#8220;The strategy is to keep up the denunciations and take advantage of a climate favorable for regulating advertising for junk food,&#8221; Consumer Power director Alejandro Calvillo told Tierramérica.</p>
<p>Activists and doctors argue that junk food is toxic to children&#39;s health and encourages obesity. Since 2006, the Mexican Congress has been debating bills to regulate advertising for foods of questionable nutritional value.</p>
