In my opinion, no, it doesn’t have to be banned. This kind of ads can be known to the children, for them to be able to be aware that this kind of things actually exist. But with the guidance of the parents. That’s why there are advertisements that are rated for each and every level of viewers is because of the need of the guidance of the older people. In my opinion, if children who are watching all of these kind of advertisements can just be guided properly by their parents or someone who is looking after them. It’s not a bad thing. This ads is just for, it just only serves as an information. It doesn’t really imply that you have to do it. It promotes, it tells you that this thing exists and it entices you of the possible foods that you may actually like but the end product of whatever the outcome is is still so slowly depending on the parents if they’re going to allow the children to indulge all this kind of products that’s being promoted by the ads.

In my opinion, no, it doesn't have to be banned. This kind of ad can help children become aware that these things actually exist, but with the guidance of their parents. That's why there are advertisements that are rated for each level of viewers, because of the need for guidance from older people. In my opinion, if children who are watching these kinds of advertisements are properly guided by their parents or someone looking after them, it's not a bad thing. These ads serve as information. They don't imply that you have to do it. They promote and inform you that these things exist and entice you with possible foods that you may actually like. However, the end result of whatever the outcome is still depends on the parents and whether they will allow their children to indulge in these kinds of products being promoted by the ads.
