Childhood obesity conclusion. Childhood obesity continues to grow at an unprecedented rate in America. Large corporations have been targeting children daily with advertisements for calorie dense, un-nutritional foods, snacks and drinks. They have spent upwards of $10 billion dollars per year targeting children and teenagers. Excessive television watching is a strong catalysis to obesity in children and teenagers. Excessive television viewing leads to an increase in food consumption and a decrease in physical activity. The government has already placed limits on how much these companies can advertise to children. Government regulations will not stop the obesity epidemic in America. These regulations have currently proven ineffective. We must take a new approach and educate our children about the dangers of fast food and an un-healthy diet. In a perfect world, corporation should be obligated to adjust their business and advertising models and do whatever it takes to keep our youth healthy, active and productive. The same regulations that prevent unlimited advertising of unhealthy foods to youth, always mandate a requirement for healthy and productive advertisements for broadcasters. If we wish to protect the health of our youth, we must prevent all advertisements of unhealthy and energy dense food to children and promote a healthy active life style. Government and business companies are not going to solve Americas childhood obesity problem. We as a society need to drastically reduce out consumption of processed foods, pre-packaged meals, sugary drinks and sweets.

My closing argument is that companies are specifically targeting kids and it is contributing to the rapid spread of childhood obesity. I do not have any questions at this
