Advertising fast food to children and its major shift - YouTube:
As technology has improved immensely in the past few years, corporate businesses have found ingenious ways of persuading the average consumer to make unhealthy food choices, McDonalds being my number one pick. What's even worse is that they know the most innocent and weakest link of all consumers is children, and they have successfully been able to use market strategies to introduce a unhealthy lifestyle to today's generation at a very early age. Take McDonalds for example, they give a small toy with every happy meal, so that children will buy more of their food under the bribe of a toy, something the child can resist. In all honesty, I find this unethical and cunning, but that's how business works sometimes, which makes the duty of adults to properly educate the young generation on healthy living at a very early age, and teach them the benefits of eating healthy.
