Well this is such a great article. It talked about how kids will eat what they see on TV. it states that children under the age of nine still believe that all advertisements are true. Kids are being greatly influenced by characters that they love. If superman comes in the screen and tells them that he eats Lucky Charms then the kid is going to want that cereal. He wants to be just like superman. the article says that children will gain weight for every hour of TV that they watch. Young people today don't like to be very active and when you combine laziness with food intake there is going to be in increase in obesity. At the end it asks the parents to first better themselves before they buy the cereal for their children.
My response:
I love this article because it describes to me exactly what is wrong with our society today. i love it when people accuse the media of controlling our nation, when was the last time you saw a "5-year-old girl pushing a grocery cart through the snack section at the supermarket". You have never seen that because it is the parents that do most of the grocery shopping. I cant believe parents that give their kids everything that they ask for. All the adults are doing is ruining the lives of their children. Adults need to learn to say no to children even if they give a temper tantrum. I however agree that kids will eat what they see on TV. They want to do what their heroes are doing, that includes what they eat. i think that this is a growing problem and if it is not confronted soon, it will get increasingly worse.
