Correction
In a Feb. 22, 1984, report of a survey of references to sugar-rich
foods in California's K-3 reading books, Education Week quoted the
researcher as saying the California State Department of Education had
adopted guidelines restricting the mention of junk foods and brand-name
food items in readers after the survey was conducted in 1979-80.
However, according to Maritza Giberga, a consultant with the California
Department of Education, the state board approved those textbook
guidelines in 1977.
