More and more people are obese today. Children are daily being bullied in school because of their weight.
But whose problem is it? Is it the children’s? The parentes’? Or the advertising companies’?
I am going to state some of these reasons and discuss what to do about this big problem.
One of the reasons could for example be advertising. According experts, junk food commercials, is crucial for younger children. The advertisers use a method in their commercials which blackmails parents and use a number of cynical psychological ploys to hook children.
Statistics shows that 99% of the food products advertised during children’s viewing time are potentially unhealthy.
Another reason for the increasingly obesity regarding young children is, that junk food places are more and
more available. In the USA you can practically find a McDonald on every street corner. The fact that
McDonald always puts a toy in their happymeal is also an attempt to lure as much children as possible into
eating their fattening products. Another high-calorie product is Pepsi. Pepsi does not use attraction
methods as toys. They use celebrities as Michal Jackson, Britney Spears, David Beckham and many others in
their commercials.
