0925:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits.
According to a recent investigation on the Internet, 78% of people reflect that they would be affected by the advertisement when purchasing. Suggesting the unhealthy eating habits spreading among people, some consider that it is caused most by advertising. On the other hand, some are opposed to this statement and give more positive comments on advertising in some fields like widening consumers’ horizon, giving their more opportunities to compare different commodities or so. As far as I am concerned, advertising just can be a common case to affect people’s eating habits and the development of the unhealthy one is relating to many factors. My opinion can be explained as follows.
Firstly, advertising is a medium between the marketers and consumers through TV, posters, or radio. Essentially advertising aims to broadcast the products and influence the purchasing behavior of the consumers. No matter how extraordinary a type of commodity is depicted in an advertisement, consumers are still able to tell the good from the bad naturally as well as able to tell the healthy from the unhealthy. Even if it’s a child, under the dictation of the wise parents, the little guy still can make a proper choice. So the effect of advertising on people’s eating behavior should not be overstated.
What’s more, actually, it’s the desire for junk food or irregular eating behavior leading to a unhealthy habits. According to the Bible, human beings die for the seven deadly sins. Among them is the gluttony, which means unlimited, strong desire for gorging or storing food. Keeping being tempted by the delicious food and Indulging in one’s appetite, it’s easy to form an unhealthy eating habit. Therefore, it will be more efficient to control one’s will for food than accusing of the advertising. Finally, most of people clearly understand the harm unhealthy habits bring about. The reason they cannot cut out the bad ones maybe they indeed need them. The speeding operation of society has been pressing them to the underline. And some people may go crazy if they cannot release their negative tensions. The stranger what they take in, the more relax they may feel. People with unhealthy eating habits are the products of the unhealthy working conditions and living environment. Owing the responsibility the whole society should take to advertising is unreasonable. All in all, advertising is just one result of the modern society. It can be one, but not the most important one. To analyze the reason why people‘s unhealthy eating habits form, we should do more research and collect more data. It is also necessary to make a thorough inquiry into people’s inner world.
