Question

Do television advertisements（广告）make kids eat unhealthy food? Some scientists say “Yes.” They have done a study and found that food advertisements change what kids eats. Television advertisements often encourage kids to eat food that are bad for them. These foods can make kids become very fat. This is a growing problem for kids across America.

3An America kid sees about 40,000 advertisements a year. That’s almost 110 advertisements a day! They show drinks, cookies, candies and fast food. They often make kids want to eat more of these unhealthy foods. As a result many kids are overweight.

To attract kids, advertisements sometimes use popular movie or cartoon stars. Many of these advertisements don’t tell kids what the foods are made of. 4As a result, many kids may think that the foods they are eating are good for them.

What should kids do to keep a healthy life? Scientists say kids should talk with their parents and doctors to make sure whether they are eating healthy foods. Doctors also say that exercise is very important. So maybe overweight kids should watch less TV and do more exercise.
