In a story from www.telegraph.co.uk, researchers found that a 2,000-calorie diet consisting entirely of advertised foods would contain less than half of the recommended servings of vegetables, dairy, and fruits.  But the amount of sugar and fat contained in meals promoted on television is so great that eating just one meal provides up to three times the recommended daily servings.

The research, which is based on an analysis of adverts on US television, has been published in the June issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
