'The World Health Organisation has concluded the marketing of unhealthy foods to children is a probable cause of weight gain. Overweight children are likely to become overweight adults and being overweight or obese increases the risk of some types of cancer. Every day children are exposed to junk food marketing through advertising or product placement on television, in movies and in electronic games, on-pack giveaways and competitions, in-store promotions, sponsorship of sport or education programs, billboards and on the internet. They are a particularly vulnerable audience that doesn’t fully understand the persuasive intent of advertising, being easily deceived by ads. While parents obviously have an important role to play in ensuring their children eat a healthy diet, limiting their children’s exposure to the influence of junk food marketing is one important strategy in the battle against obesity in childhood and the development of healthy eating habits for life. #ICS INSTITUTE IF CREATIVE STUDIES STAY CONNECTED WITH US
