Nowadays, many people all over the world eat junk food. They believe that it tastes good and is easy and fast to get. They think that fast food is convenient because the cost is always cheap. In addition to that, young children get into the habit of eating junk food at a very young age.
I strongly believe that eating junk food can cause a lot of harm to the human body. Moreover, it can negatively affect the health of many people. We should ban junk food advertising because it is unhealthy. Junk food contains a lot of sugar, salt and fat. On one hand, they can cause obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. On the other hand, junk food is bad for health.
According to statistics from America, young children watch nearly 20,000 junk food advertisements a year. This is nearly one ad every five minutes. In addition to that, they spend about 25 hours a week watching TV. Young children ask their parents to buy them junk food meals because the ads target them. Governments should ban junk food advertising during the times when young children are watching TV. The government should also teach people about the benefits of eating healthy food.
On the other hand, some people believe that junk food is tasty, easy and cheap to buy because many people work long hours. In fact, I believe that those people are wrong because junk food causes many problems to people’s health. All it takes is a little planning to cook healthy food to keep your family healthy and save your money. People can also save a lot of money by buying ingredients and cooking at home.
All things considered, we should ban junk food advertisements because they make people unhealthy and we should encourage people to cook and eat healthy food and take more exercises.
