Child Obesity Caused by Advertisements


Child Obesity is a very big problem occurring these days and as the time goes on this problem increases because of the media. 

As it appears in the graph above we can see how TV advertisements about candy and snacks,sugared cereals,sodas, soft drinks and fast foods are the most targeted for small children and teens and as the food gets healthier the percentage decreases making the unhealthy foods have the biggest percentage. The media itself has caused obesity in children of small ages because of how common it is to show unhealthy snacks in advertisements which are targeted for them and because of how easy is to convince and influence them to consume "bad" food.
