Choate gained widespread notoriety with congressional testimony last year that many kids were nutritionally worthless.
"At a time when poor nutrition and poverty are enormous risks, it is of crucial importance that advertising, especially food advertising, contribute toward addressing the situation." Nader said.
"Advertising directed at children, who are most likely to be verisigning and most in need of a good diet, should come under the closest scrutiny." Nader write Miles Kirkpatrick, chairman of the audit committee.
As to Wonder Bread, Nader said the advertising was "challenging" for references to nutrients, which, together with other means, imply to the public that Wonder Bread is not a bread. Those who are convinced by this advertising end up paying premium prices for an ordinary loaf.
Furthermore, Nader saw,
Wonder's slogan "Helps Build Strong Bodies 12 Way" was
added to the menu that nutrients were added to the
bread. Also, he said, the Food and Drug Administration required that all white bread be made in essentially the same nutrients.

Speaking for the council on this issue, Mr. Kashiwagi chandling, he said, "we challenge the food and broadcasting industries to adopt a code which would regulate their advertising practices."
He said the council's code, presented to the Federal Communications Commission, in connection with the introduction of ingredients and nutrients in foods advertised on the nation's billboard, had a vocacy of sugar; elimination of
toys, gimmicks and bonuses to make a child select one food over another restriction of the number of timing of advertisements.
