Academic Language Week 37 - Unhealthy Meal Choices


The fast food industry should not be allowed to target kids with unhealthy meal choices. One reason is because it leads to child obesity and children can even get diabetes. Fast food companies use many of the SIMILAR campaigns such as toys and discounts. Many of the companies share the same THEORY that the kids don't know what they are getting fed anyway, so by giving them a toy they are gonna want it even more. This really makes it hard on the kids because they don't know what they are consuming, but they are more interested in the toy. Unfortunately, certain SECTIONS of the community can only eat at fast food restaurants because they're poor. You have to look at it this way to really understand. Would you rather be obese, tired, and hungry? Or, would you like to be a healthy weight, energetic, and well fed? If you wanna be healthy and feel good, why would you wanna put your child through that? Targeting kids with unhealthy meal choices is terrible and unfair to the kids.
