▶ Your Answer :
An intriguing topic of discussion at hand is whether advertising is the main cause of unhealthy eating habits. The answer can vary greatly, depending on the individual perspectives. Thus, the jury may still be out, but as far as I am concerned I agree with the statement. In this essay, I will present two reasons supporting on my standpoint as follows. To begin with, advertising always shows delicious foods even though they are not healthy food. When people expose advertising about this delicious advertisement for a long time, people tend to want this appealing foods. Consequently, this repeated advertisement frequently allows people to eat more bad foods. And then, it makes possible to have bad eating habits for people. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2012, people who exposes more advertisement do have bad eating habits than other people group-group B-who do not affected advertisement and do not have trouble because they know how to manage times and responsibility about their own health habits. Interestingly, the researchers found a link between exposed people and non-exposed people and the research displays non-exposed people is more healthier than adversed people. Also, studies pointed out that people who are struggle to advertisement is more mature and better equipped to succeed in their own lives. On top of that, If people eat food over watching television, they loss their precious time with their loved ones. This is because advertisement is easy to allure people’s mind, so during watching advertisement, people do not have enjoyable conversation time with their family and friends. So, advertising enable to reduce their family times because they might have dinner time with tempted advertisement. And then, this makes people have worse eating habits which remove family times. For instance, in the movie “The Dangerous Advertisement of Food” the character Miranda Cue was a successful businesswoman yet a total workaholic, infamous for her dictatorship in the office. Although, She had a high reputation for her competence in the business world, she divorced multiple times and practically lived a lonely life. In fact, her family time was always disturbed by advertisement, because her child always want to watch advertisement and certainly need television, not her. This makes Miranda very lonely. So, all the money she was earning from her spectacular duties did not make her a truly happy woman. In conclusion, I strongly agree with the statement advertising is the main cause of unhealthy eating habits for the reasons I mentioned above. Once again, although the verdict may still be out, I personally believe that two of my rationales above are sufficiently convincing enough to represent the viewpoints of a majority of people who are in favor of my claim.
