I had the benfit of a grant as a teenager from the 'Prince's Trust'. It supports a wide variety of programmes and his other work is comendable but I'm with you on this.Kids need information, respect and a balanced view on things such as 'grub'. Banning the corporate giant is nonsense but they should ban the blatantly unethical marketing campaigns that actually target certain demographics. That's my 'beef' with fast food giants/cigarette companies etc. People have the right to eat and consume whatever they like, no-ones business, just level the playing field in the consumer education department.

Either way, I have my right to eat either or neither. Would that the Prince take on a boycott of something far more destructive... say, marital infidelity... I wonder, why doesn't he speak out against that and <i>for honesty and integrity</i>?
