Agree entirely that publicising the issue is essential if it is to be tackled. I think that assessment design will probably be more effective in actually addressing the issue, but a legal approach would at least make the companies think twice before advertising. There will be another piece on the Radio 4 PM programme this evening, approx 1730. This time featuring a lengthy interview with a writer.
