Blog Entry 8 NOT DONE
The government should regulate the advertising of unhealthy food being directed at children. With so much going, we forget about one of the most important issues today in our nation. We don't realize that unhealthy food advertisements are manipulating kids from all ages including myself. Unhealthy food advertisements persuade children into buying their unhealthy products not considering the effects fast food has. The government should regulate the advertising of unhealthy food directed at children because if we keep feeding our children unhealthy food , the mental and physical fitness of a child will be affected. As you know, even obesity is a main concern in the United States which connects with unhealthy food advertisements. Its an abusive cycle that has been controlling the way we eat as well as where we eat.
