Sport stars, junk food, and your kids
Professional athletes like LeBron James, Peyton Manning and Serena Williams are doing commercials for everything from McDonald's to Papa John's to Oreos and soda. Now a new study finds those commercials are being seen by more kids than adults. It was published in the journal 'Pediatrics,' where researchers looked at endorsement contracts for 100 professional athletes, and found they're hawking mostly junk food. Robin Quivers joins the AC360 Later panel. She is a co-host of 'The Howard Stern Show' and author of the book 'The Vegucation of Robin: How Real Food Saved My Life.'
