Many people think that fast food companies should not be allowed to advertise, while others believe that all companies should have the right to advertise. Discuss both views and give your own opinion
Some
people
believe that fast food
advertising should be banned. However
, others think that a business has a right to advertise its product. In the following paragraphs, both of these views will be discussed in detail before the conclusion is reached.
On the one hand, the advertisement of fast food
should not be permitted because it will badly affect consumers' health
. In other words
, excessive fast food
consumption leads to serious public health
problems in the general population such
as obesity, diabetes and hypertension as it contains high calories, saturated fat and sugar.To illustrate, research has found strong associations between increases in advertising for non-nutritious foods and rates of childhood obesity. Most children under age 6 cannot distinguish between programming and advertising. This
can lead children to make unhealthy choices. Therefore
, banning adverts for unhealthy foods would be likely to lead to a fall in purchases of them.
On the other hand
, some people
might argue that it is appropriate for fast food
companies to advertise because every industry has certain rights and protections to sell their products. Moreover
, the junk-food
industry also
provides employment to many people
. For example
, a study shows that jobs in the fast-food
sector such
as McDonald's or KFC are a major area of youth employment. Another reason why fast food
companies should be allowed to advertise is that people
are definitely responsible for the choices they make. It is their responsibility to take care of their own health
. Therefore
, a complete ban on the advertisement of the junk-food
industry may not be helpful.
In conclusion, despite people
having different views, In my opinion, although
eating unhealthy food
can lead to an increased risk of obesity and chronic diseases, banning fast food
advertising is not the only solution. The government must educate people
about the health
risks associated with the consumption of fast food
. However
, it must be made mandatory for every fast food
outlet to maintain high safety standards and keep alternative healthy food
options on the menu.Submitted by panaratsri on
