Excellent Book on Commerialism and Kids

I just finished "Born to Buy: The commercialized child and the new consumer culture" by Juliet B. Schor. I highly recommend it for any parent who is concerned with the commercialization of children, and would recommend it even more for anyone who doesn't think it is really an issue. It was so disturbing to see how industry markets to out children, all laid out on 250 pages.

Thanks for recommending this. I put it on my "TO READ" list but I didn't know anyone who had actually read it. I hope the library has it today!

I want to read it, but I'm scared. :

I'm 2 chapters into Fast Food Nation right now, and I'm just terrified.

Someone hold me, please....
