Delicious, But Not Nutritious!

Many kids spend their nights sitting on the couch and watching some television. What do they do while they’re doing this? Well, they eat all the food they can until they feel sick. I bet you’re wondering why this happens. Every night these kids get hungry, and why is that? Because of the food commercials! These commercials are making the people in our nation obese. They get no physical activity whatsoever! Unless they lose the remote and they have to get up to change the channel. These food commercials are making us not care about our bodies anymore, and we need to put a stop to it!

 Have you ever wondered how McDonald’s became so popular? Well, they have done this by making ads. Their ads make their burgers, fries, and other foods look delicious, and I’m not saying they aren’t. But even though their delicious, doesn’t mean they’re nutritious! They are very unhealthy and make us gain a few every time you take a bit. McDonald’s is one of the fast food companies that have their commercials play the most. Once a week eighty-four percent of parents take their kids to a fast food restaurant. But sixty-six of that percent of parents take their kids to McDonald's, which is one of the unhealthiest restaurants. Any parent can take their kid out to a fast food place, but once in a while, maybe they could consider a healthy one.

 Next to McDonald’s, Subway looks really bad to kids. It seems as if Subway isn’t as delicious, because it’s not as greasy. Subway is way healthier for you. Usually when you eat there you order a sub, and that’s it. That sub could fill you up as much as a hamburger, large fries, large soda, and two apple pies from McDonald’s all put in one! That’s more than two thousand calories less (depending on which sub you get). Maybe, if food ads are less shown, people will realize Subway is the better deal, and maybe kids will start eating more healthy because of it.

Food commercials are one of the reasons the people in our country aren’t the skinniest. You might be getting a salad or something ready to eat, and then you see an ad, and get a craving. It might be cheap, but that’s not an excuse for all of us to be fat…..get your act together, or you’ll be joining the club. The U.S is described in one word to other countries: obese. We don’t want to keep this name forever! Let’s change this around and be healthier! Or soon we will have to take turns rolling each other around like bowling balls because we can’t keep ourselves up.
