Advertising fast food to children is wrong. The everyday companies that advertise are mostly just brainwashing or manipulating children to buy their food. Younger children don’t even know that their being manipulated by companies. When they see the colorful advertisement and fun characters it draws them in. Although what they don’t see in advertisement is how bad the food really is for them, and what it’s doing. Advertisement is such a normal thing to see everywhere ,especially for children who spend time watching tv.
