It is often said that bad eating habits are caused by advertisement. Some people might think that advertisement is not that relevant with harmful eating habits. However, I am convinced that advertisements have effect on people's bad eating habits. Using images and words on advertisement, it makes people to eat out and have delivery foods. In this essay, I will clearly show and develop what I think and why I think this way.
First of all, advertisements make people to eat out. Enticing food advertisement make people cannot eat at home with clean and healthy food. In the restaurant, ingredients are not as healthy as homemade food. Addictives and various artificial flavors make people to eat more. To illustrate my experience, I lived alone to work for internship. I was often going out and eat in the restaurant. I knew many restaurants from TV and internet advertisement. In the end, these habits make me gain weight. It was not easy to quit eating out because I was used eating at the restaurants.
In addition, It is through printed advertisement that people to eat delivery foods. We can see a lot of putting flays about delivery food on walls. This traditional advertisement method is continued, because it is very effective way to people to ordering delivery foods. People are often order chickens, pizza or Chinese food on the weekend. However, this is not healthy food. I saw a documentary about delivery food. This informs seriousness of delivery food's unhygienic and bad ingredients. They usually cannot change used oil to fry and also use foods which is passed expiration day. The documentary emphasized that if people steadily eat these foods, they can get various disease. I knew that delivery food is much worse than I have thought before.
To summarize what I mentioned above, I am steadfast agreement with the idea that advertising is major reason of people's unhealthy eating habits for two reasons. First, advertisements make people to eat out frequently. Second, people order delivery food through advertisement.
