Today fast food has become an essential part for children in their everyday life. Whether they are eating it or seeing ads for it on T.V., fast food part of the routine. And according to a new survey, children are seeing more ads and are eating it more than ever before. Major fast food chains vow to provide healthy nutritious meals; however this is not really happening.
According to new research from the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, the average preschooler sees three fast food ads per day, while the average teenager sees about five per day. That’s a 21 percent increase for young children and a 34 percent increase for older children since 2003. In 2006, industry leaders including McDonald's and Burger King entered into a voluntary agreement initiated by the Better Business Bureau to limit the marketing of unhealthy food to kids. They pledged to devote at least 50 percent of ads directed at kids to choices that are considered "better for you."These large food chain supplies are shattered all over the world. With such a hectic busy routine, parents have no option, but to buy their kids a fast food meal. But such agreements made by such large industries don’t promote validity. A Happy Meal product that promotes healthy food consumption, does it really provide the kids, with a healthy meal? Almost 80 percent of fast food restaurants are reported to provide French fries as sidelines, rather then some other nutritious option.
The consumers perhaps do prefer French fries rather then any other healthy option for their meal.More then twice a week kids are consuming fast food meals. I would also say, as a young adult, I also prefer a fast food meal rather then home cooked food. Is it parents to be blamed or the society we, all live in? There’s a question in my mind for all the people out there do your children frequently eat fast food? Why or why not? When bombarded by these kinds of ads, what can we do to encourage young people to make healthier food choices?
