In the modern and developed society, food advertisements are everywhere and they mainly target children, bringing some benefits but also cause disadvantages.
The first benefit about these advertisements is some food can actually be useful for children to consume such as vegetables, nutritious products,… Therefore, parents who knew the food by watching advertisements through televisions or social medias can support their children diet by purchasing the products. Another benefit of food advertisements is they can raise children’s awareness about healthy and unhealthy food. For example, an advertisements of fruits which give information about what advantages fruits bring to human body can make children who don’t have decent knowledge about food love eating them.
On the other hand, food advertisements have a lot of disadvantages. One obvious drawback of food advertisements is that most of them are unhealthy food such as fast food, sweets,… which can be easily produced from low-price ingredients. These advertisements will cause an addiction to bad food for children. For example, sweet candy is made from a lot of sugar which is officially recognized as an addictive ingredient, will surely cause addiction in the long run. Another disadvantage is these advertisements lower the awareness of children about healthy diets by making these food delicious by adding sugar or salt. As a result, some children get obesity and diabetes because of consuming so much unhealthy food.
In short, food advertisements are both good and bad in different ways so people have to carefully decide what advertisements to believe.
