In such a developed marketing economy as today’s, the all-pervasive advertisements indeed has influenced people’s daily life dramatically, from dressing to diet, from speeches to perspectives; all can be utterly altered by such marketing propagandas, positively or negatively. ThHence, some people have begun to blame their unhealthy eating habits on these advertisements. However, this excuse just seems farfetched since nor is the advertising the necessary condition of the cause of this habit or the sufficient one.
Admittedly, the advertising on food, especially the junk food like KFC, candy, ice cream, could be so appealing to children that they will probably ask their parents to buy them home. The consequence of this is that the formal meal may be substituted by these unhealthy foods, and then the harmful habit forms. While this merely happens to 'children', especially between 3 years old to 12 years old, according to a recent research for they are deficient in the capability of self-control. As for teenagers or adults?额,改成But what about。。之类的怎么样? Probably not. As long as they are resistant enough to the temptation exaggerated by the advertisements, nothing will be changed. They can make this seemingly delicate food as snack when feeling tired at most. Thus, to be the main criminal of the shaping of unhealthy eating habits, advertising is just not incompetent in most cases.
Additionally, advertising cannot be the culprit or the only cause of the formation of poor eating habit, either. What is a habit? Briefly, habit is a persistent pattern of a behavior. It can come into being at any time, affected by any thing and any people. For example, if a parent always purchases sweet food or fast food for their children, whatever reason it is for, or the parent just indulge in satisfying their children's unreasonable requirements, how could condemn advertising as 'the most important cause' of such harmful habit? In fact, many parents do take their children to KFC or McDonald’s frequently, even as a reward. Let's look at another currently happened case. Nancy, one of my roommates, decides to lose weigh just because she cannot wear her newly bought dresses, plus other people's gossips. She cut off the dinners, even breakfasts sometimes, but just one meal a day. Surprisingly, she has held out, for one month. Finally, she made it, yet at the expense of health. She got the acute gastritis. Sounds awful, right? See, it has nothing to do with advertising. It just depends on personal perspectives and decisions. Therefore, advertising cannot be the prerequisite of bad eating habits, not to mention the most important one.
As a matter of fact, some advertising can help improve people's eating habits. For instance, hearing one advertisement on milk, saying 'one cup of milk everyday, a better physique forever' and thus making a change, is just beneficial for people. After all, advertising is only a means of publicizing, to make the products well informed, rather than the direct force that determines one's living habits. All it matters is the person self who owns those habits.
