Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits.
In order to attract more consumers, advertisement has produces mountains of tactics to magnify the advantages of their products, which lead to the conclusion that advertising is the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits. Although I admit the advertisement do have certain impact on the unhealthy eating habits in some extent, I think it is irrational to place all the blame on advertising. My reasons are listed as follows.
First and foremost, the main cause of unhealthy eating habits is due to the unhealthy life style. Since no one can deny the intrinsic cause are always predominant in one's life, so it is unfair to ascribe the bad habits to some extrinsic causes such as advertising. It is acknowledged that people often dislike to eat vegetables in their childhood. Take me as an example. When I was a kid, I hated all the vegetables and only liked to eat meat and fruits. Although thousands times had my mother required me to have vegetables in order to prevent me from lack of Vitamin, I didn't listen to her at all. And it was obviously that my unhealthy eating habit is just because I dislike vegetables, not the advertising influenced me. Hence it is not reasonable to say that the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits come from advertising.
Besides, another significant cause of unhealthy eating habits is the irregular life style. With the fast rhythm and heavy burden of life, more and more people, especially the young who live in cities, tend to have a less regular life. Nowadays, it is quite common to see that young people work till very late. So they always eat snacks while working even at night, which would undoubtedly do harm to their health. More over, the stress coming from study or work could also lead to unhealthy eating habits. Since there are people who release their pressure by constant eating whereas the others are suffering from anorexia due to the depression which could not relieve in a correct way, there are still many other causes should be taken into account to investigate the main causes of unhealthy eating habits.
However, advertising, to some degree, can affect the decision of consumers. Some children would be misleading by the advertising, for example, crying for some beverage which state a good impact on children's health but actually goes in a opposite way. Some young girls, who dream of the devil figure of the beauties in the advertise, would eat less food thus develop a wrong eating habits. However, these could not go further enough in supporting the statement that the most significant cause of unhealthy eating habits is advertisement.
From all the discussion above, it is clearly that advertising is not the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits. One who had a wrong eating habits should examine himself, but not ascribe it to extrinsic causes such as advertisements.
