Nearly one out of three children are obese. What can we do in the future to prevent all these harmful effects that fast food is causing? I believe that the amount of advertising we are exposed to should be reduced. During their teen years, children have spent more hours watching television then they have spent attending school. The amount of advertisement these children have been exposed to is massive. If we can limit the amount of fast food advertising exposed to people, then we reduce the number of obese people.
