Examples:

Companies such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, Coke & Pepsi buying exclusivity rights at high schools in America.

These companies know that the products are far from what the children needs (health-wise), but continues to buy these rights from schools because they know the schools are despirate for funding.

Another marketing issue would be the companies that are buy signage at local parks to advertise. Public parks across are beginning to be covered in ads… what is this teaching our children?

For example, the vaccine against the HPV virus, while it is being marketed directly to consumers, is also being “marketed” by efforts to have states make it mandatory.

There’s a commercial now touting implanted defibrillation devices, and consumers are urged to approach their doctors to see if they should get one.

For that matter, I don’t actually know that efforts to get schools and malls to buy automated external defibrillators are driven by the manufacturers of those devices, but I have my suspicions.

For companies in the medical field to push for sales by working on public policy-makers and suggesting to the general public that they should ask their doctors for specialized devices is new to me.

Don’t know if this is helpful, but maybe you can use some of it.
