Week 12 ; Ch.10 #2

After reading Robert Liodice and Margo G. Wootan's articles, I enjoyed the fact that one person was for it, and the other was against it. Both articles talked about regulating food advertisements for children. Liodice was for the act of having advertisements because he believes that it's just the freedom of speech. On the other hand, Wootan was against having advertisements because she believes that this causes children to live unhealthy lives. She talks about how unhealthy food advertisements should be banned so that kids could live healthier lives. Wootan also goes into detail about what foods should be acceptable to be advertised and to eat. I personally think Wootan made the better argument because she gave examples of what should replace the acts now. I also think that advertisements do cause some obesity in this world because when people see a large billboard with a juicy burger on it, it usually makes them crave it afterwards. Without advertisements, businesses wouldn't be able to gain the business that they get today to be successful. Although advertisements don't make people become obese, it definitely influences them.
