(Source: USA Today) If you’re a parent, then you know how hard it can be to get your kids to eat healthy. One of the biggest reason kids like junk food is because they are marketed to at a very young age. Advertisements almost brainwash kids into thinking that they need that particular product, and when it comes to junk food it can actually be harmful to young children.
Well now the $1 billion baby carrot industry plans to start marketing their products just like the typical bad-for-you treat that most kids crave. The idea is to get kids to want to eat healthier, not just accept healthy foods. The new ads will target young kids going back to school, and the new packaging will be bright, flashy, and kid friendly. The baby carrot industry also plans to sell the newly packaged veggie snacks in school vending machines. Marketing for the new baby carrot campaign will include ‘extreme’ themed TV spots, and even a carrot inspired app for Apple iPhones.

Despite the DJIA falling thousands of points starting in late 2007, it is once again above 10,000 points, closing on Friday at 10,151. The S&P 500 was also up, gaining 1.7%, and the Nasdaq was also up 1.7%.
This is an important milestone that may means the market is back to the level that was so hard to crack just a few years ago. The market might just stabilize and therefore help stimulate the economy as a whole. Only time will tell.

For the past two years, the U.S. birth rate has declined, and experts say it is due to the declining economy. The total number of births has dropped 2.9% according to the National Center for Health Statistics. In fact our nation’s birth rate has been dwindling ever since the economy has started to go downhill in late 2007.
This trend is expected to reverse in the next few years as the economy recovers, but until then this may have an effect on many different industries. From healthcare providers to baby related retailers, many companies could feel the ripple effect of the birthrate decline. But perhaps the flip side of the coin would be that companies providing birth control products and drugs may see increase sales. It’ll be interesting to see what prolonged effects this will have on the economy.
