Well I think the only way you'd see an impact on price is if ALL advertizing is stopped.

And if a company wants to do that, fine.....but I don't agree that the government should be involved in regulating who can advertise and how.....as long as they are truthfull in their advertising.

Now....if the ad for the chocolate says/implies that this is a healthy food it definitly should be stopped. But if the company simply wants to advertise their product....whether it's 5% of their profit going to ads or 80%.....that should be their choice.

This is a capitalistic society. In this society we allow buisnesses to make their own choices. We should monitor ads for acccuracy (and that would remove a lot of "diet" ads) but I dont' want to see the gov't regulating who can advertise and how.
