Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wasn't going to say anything, because I already put my two cents in, but we veered out of the lane of saying we should hear from everybody. We haven't yet heard from some folks who are on the record speaking on this issue not that long ago.
To Dr. Ellis, outright challenging the science on this, we have Dr. Sharma here. Questioning whether or not it's efficacious to move forward with this type of legislation, and whether or not this will actually lead to healthier outcomes, is counterproductive to why we're here today.
We're not here today to challenge the science or to suggest that maybe the science is unclear on whether or not marketing to kids leads to unhealthy outcomes for them. Hearing from all sides is different from challenging the very well-documented facts that are out there if one chooses to look.
I would ask that if we have any questions on the science, Dr. Sharma is here.... She happens to be an expert on the issue and can speak to the science on it. Otherwise, I think we should move forward, because this is, quite frankly, a waste of time, and we've already been through this. We've already decided that we were going to come here today to listen to the sponsor and move forward on the bill.
