▶ Your Answer : Advertisements certainly have big impacts on people life these days. However, it is a bit too much to simply conclude that the advertisement is the main reason for the unhealthy eating tendency of today's people. There are thousands of comprehensive reasons which accounts for the cause of the habits. Also, government constantly issuing public advertisement delivering the importance of healthy eating. Thus, advertisement is not the main source of this phenomenon.
First of all, the advertisement is not the only reason. There are many reasons which have responsibilities for people's unhealthy eating habits. For example, scientists frequently pointing out that the inappropriate morale of the sellers can be a good explanation for the phenomenon. In other words, greedy food retailer produce cheap, seductive foods which contains poor nutrients as well as addictive flavors. At the same time, general people got addicted to the food and have poor eating habits. Fast food restaurant could be a perfect example. They offer cheap, fast, and attractive tastes. However, these attractive foods are typical unhealthy foods. Not only this factors, but also thousands of other factors contribute the habit of people. Such as insufficient education of nutrient and health, or unconsidered attitude of people could pointed as a main reason.
Second, not every advertisements leads to unhealthy eating habit. Government has consistently produced commercials which contains importance of healthy eating, which counter unhealthy eating habits. According to the Media Research Center, 73% of the advertisements broadcasted on the television, or posted on websites have nothing to do with poor eating habits. Surprisingly, most of the advertisements pointed how much healthy ingredients that the food contained, or how much positive changes could be made in your body by taking it. In other words, there are almost no relation with eating habits and advertisements.
For these reasons, I believe that an advertisement has nothing to do with poor eating habit that people facing in current society. The reason for the problem is rather comprehensive and has multiple causational. Also, it is not true that advertisements include seductive implies of bad eating habits. In fact, it shed light on positive eating habits. |
