I listened to this news titled "Athletes Influencing kids to eat 'Junk Food'".
This news says that athletes should be more careful for what they are endoring.
The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, shows that of the 62 food and beverage products endorsed by athletes in 2010, nearly 80 percent of them fell in the junk food category.
In 2010 children aged 12 to 17 years old saw the most athlete endorsed food and beverage ads.
