If I remember correctly, they don't have mammalian glands and instead "sweat" thier milk for thier young.

Regulation? In the U.S.? Laws aren't just made by anyone you know. /Joke Seriously, I don't think this law is a huge step to solving the issue but American Corporate lobbyist will spin something like this as the second coming of the USSR. Actually that's been the strategy for just about everything. We do have wayy to many people that'd rather see the country implode then, (oh no) compromise or (aghast) do something good for everyday folks.

Fair, that's the part where I think a parent needs to have the will and authority to say no to their kid, but I understand that can be difficult. This may do some good but as I am sure some loopholes will form and it doesn't forbid ads 100%, it wont stop Fast Food ads. Even if fast food wasn't directly advertised, I believe there is more factors, like the availability of healthy options, many families don't have the time or money to make good healthy meals. This law is a good thing, but I personally don't see it as a huge win, just a patch that will be touted to solve problems it doesn't address.

As I said, I think availability and awareness are as big of factors. I 100% believe most Europeans have better access to healthier foods then many americans. Granted ads may spur kids to bug thier parents but if parents did better at saying no, and could give thier kids better options. I think it's not just a personal responsibility but a communal, a government responsibility to ensure access to information and food are available. When no better options are made available, there is a problem.

I mean they will just plug in something different or find a loophole, would playing the Mmm hmm mm? and a big M be a fast food commercial? We aren't going to see less ads, just different ones.

Eh? Ads may play a part, but options and parent education are more important. I see people not realizing how bad junk food is for thier kids, don't have many options or simply dont care.

A kid can see an ad, but a kid can't buy it. It's up to the parents to be telling thier kid no, and giving them healthier options. Far better will be Informing parents better strategies on feeding thier kids and ensuring healthy options are readily available.

As long as parents think a cup of soda everyday is fine for thier kid and healthy options are prohibitively expensive (Monetarily or time), we will get nowhere.

actually yes, there have been alot of games in the rpgmmo ish game like genshin and the ark / survival builder games like Palworld.

Whenever a game becomes popular people and studios try to make thier own. Palworld is an example of one that worked (it being Ark survival evolved: pokemon editon)
