Advertising unhealthy food still remains an urgent problem. People used to eat foods that are harmful to their health because they believe it makes them happy. Any advertising, especially one that promotes something negative, has a strong impact on human consciousness. Therefore, it is not surprising that today more and more people are beginning to understand that advertising unhealthy products has bad consequences.
Of course, there are two sides in terms of this subject. Such advertisements are very popular among the inhabitants of developed countries, where mass-produced food and carbonated drinks are sold everywhere. The demand for such food is growing, which has a positive effect on the social status of business owners. Moreover, junk food and sweets are the best friends for someone who suffers from depression. Nevertheless, this is only a self-hypnosis. People poison themselves and their bodies for instant gratification. They don't think about why they feel so bad after eating a hamburger and french fries. I think the idea of banning the advertising of junk food is great and very necessary. This will help reduce the risk of obesity and deterioration of life in general. In such a way people could live longer and think about their health.
As for the disadvantages of banning such advertising, we should first mention entrepreneurs. Such a ban can result in losses for businesses in various industries. After all, not only fast food producers will suffer. A large share of the advertising budget comes from the burgers and soda sellers.
Since every day we learn a lot of new information regarding a long and healthy life, I believe that people are able to make informed choices. They can choose what is better for their nutrition. So, if they make mistakes, these are their mistakes. Everyone should learn from his mistakes.
