Children are being exposed early in life to more television and more advertisements. Those commercial , consisting of the the modern junk food advertising, that influenced the lives and health of children and teens, according to studies. This may result in many negative effects upon children and youth, such as obesity, heat disease and so more.
This study has brought my attention to an important issue, that the impact of media is very pronounced. I found an article entitled, "Adult Fast Food Diets Tied to much TV as Teen" of the site washington.com. Seven Reinberg says that "Television watching impacts diet choices makes years later". Advertisements for fast food restaurant and other similar junk foods are having a big impact to teens. Watching TV times while snacking makes us more likely to eat foods which being advertised. TV viewing consumes lots of calories per day than those who watch moderate amount of TV.
Yes, that's true. Several advertisers stream their work through the television with the intention of targeting certain to children and youth. And for them to believe us. The deception of food advertising, You know the way you see a burger on TV and it looks great and big with fresh ingredients, but then, in real life, it is small, stable and flat. They were convinced us to believed that when you eat junk food everyone will be slim and healthy.
I found another article entitled, "It's the Ads, Stupid: Why TV Leads to Obesity", by Alice Park, from the site heathland.time.com. The article talks about the role of media on obesity is not just watching TV, but encourage the teen to be less physically active, but it exposed them to food advertisements that contribute to develop poor eating habits that can set kids up to for health problems as adults. According to Dr. Victor Strasburger, “We created a perfect storm between media use, junk and fast food advertising, and physical inactivity”. That's why teens are experiencing obesity rates. Media such as television is the most important and under appreciated influenced on children's development and behaviour. I also encourage children and youth to involve their parents to obtain those products they desired, but if parents interface with their children's exposure to advertising, then the parents can shape the way they are influence.
I observed that obesity is the fastest growing. The first thing that comes to my mind if, I encounter to meet obese people, Is they are really healthy or fats only? Obesity is the one of the main cause problem of the other people. I encountered one person who is fat then I knew that she only eat meats instead of vagetable and nutrious food. This person is one example of obesity and they are influenced by media to eat junk foods. baste on my research, the main causes of obesity are rarely limited to genetic factors, prolonged overeating or a sedentary lifestyle.
