In 2004, it was reported that children in Brazil spent approximately 210 million reais a year on advertising materials to stimulate their desire for various products. The Instituto Alana, in response, created the "Criança e Consumo" project to investigate the relationship between sales pitches that affected even poverty-stricken children and issues like obesity, precocious eroticization, adultization, family stress, and the decline of playtime. The project's objectives are to foster critical reflection on the topic of consumption in childhood and the targeting of advertising towards children under 12 years old, and the organization has seen success in raising awareness and implementing solutions in the past 10 years.
