Advertising food?
Although both Wootan and Liodice make great arguments, I believe that Liodice has the better stand. Making good and healthy choices can not be enforced by anyone and they certainly can not be manipulated by law enforcement. Nutrition is extremely important, especially for kids, but parents have to enforce rules on what their kids eat. We all know that advertisements pray on everyone, and knowing that kids are the ones that are most easily influenced, parents should educate their kids on what they are advertised. It is the parents responsibility to educate and enforce rules on their children so that they can understand the nutritional content of the foods they eat. The choice on what an individual feeds him or her self is within the individual. Children should come to understand that at a young age because of all the influential media around us. This does not mean that I support faulty and misleading advertisement directed to children, but I do realize that we all have the right to freedom of speech,which includes McDonald's and other fast food restaurants. The one thing that I do agree with in Wootan's argument is that the fast food industry should make the public aware of what they are eating, at least just as much as they advertise it.
