Assemblyman Bill Monning's proposed bill in California, AB 1678, requiring food trucks to stay further than 1500 feet of an elementary school, just doesn't make sense.

With this bill, food trucks move up the ladder to public school enemy number two, implying they are more obesity causing...

Traditional advertising has changed significantly in the last year. The rise of social media as a ubiquitous piece of the brand-consumer communication puzzle has morphed the tail end of advertising as we knew it. What was once the place for the ultra catchy jingle or even the speed read legal...
