In this age of information explosion,people are constantly overwhelmed by advertisements in mass media,most of which usually exaggerate the real effects of a product.Recently,some people stand on the ground that advertising is mainly attributable to people's unhealthy eating habits.From my point of view,though advertising partly account for people's unhealthy eating habits,it is by no means the major one,neither the only one.
Admittedly,advertising has exerted a negative influence on peoples' food choice by enticing customers to buy products they do not need.Fans of a famous actor may choose to buy the same kind of food the spokesman has recommended in an advertisement,which in reality,the food is lack of nutrition and may even lead to obesity.However,advertising is only a medium to promote a product,or just a way of public promotion,therefore it is presumptions to blamed advertisements for achieving a commercial goal it should serve to meet.
Advertisements only present the choices of food to the public,and those who cannot resist the temptation or develop an unhealthy eating habits do so mainly out of the following two root causes.
Firstly,people who develop an unhealthy habit mainly due to the rapid pace of modern society and their tight time schedule.Employees,especially the elite ones in a global top company,have to bear an extreme heavy work load and they are required to meet strict standards within a limited time.As a result,few of them would take time to enjoy meals leisurely,or tend to maintain a healthy diet or take in sufficient nutrition everyday.My cousin,a HR manager in P&G Company,rashly finishes her breakfast on the way to work and finishes her lunch at her desk by eating a hamburger.Her high working pressures leave her little time to eat regularly,let alone healthily.
More importantly,people in modern society seldom have the awareness of healthy diet.Most of them pay all their attention to work,study or business,while only a few numbers of people really take care of their health or acquire some basic knowledge of how to maintain a healthy diet.Only when they suffer from serious healthy problems will they regret and start over to learn more knowledge of healthy eating.Lacking healthy awareness is another main reason that leads to an unhealthy eating habit.
In sum,with the rapid development of mass media and communication technology,the waves of advertising and commercialization will keep pounding over the public.It is unfair to totally blame advertisement for misshaping people's eating habits.Before criticizing the external effects,it is more rational for us to re-schedule our life,to slow down the fast working pace and to equip ourselves with more healthy diet knowledge in order to live long and healthy life.
Nowadays many people have developed unhealthy eating habits.The reasons are various,including advertising.But advertising is definitely not the most important one.
Indeed,some food advertisements exaggerate the nutrition of the food,or invent some superstars to be advertising spokesperson which attract the stars鈥 fans to buy the food.I鈥檝e seen an advertisement of mineral water on TV,which says their water is from a nature lake free of pollution,with some healthy mineral salt.After this TV advertisement is broadcast,since the advertising spokesman is a popular singer,a lot of young people who like the singer have bought the water of this brand.However,the quality control bureau made their research on the water open,which said that the natural lake actually contains much contamination.Customers said that they have been cheated by the advertisement.Considerable the effect of the advertisement is,it cannot compete with the influence of people鈥檚 life style when pressure and price are taken in to account.
I believe,the living tempo is in fact the principal reason of unhealthy eating habits,which is increasingly fast so that people have to shorten their time cooking,choosing what to eat and eating,in order to spend the saved time on working or studying.Thus fast food becomes popular since it saves time.People do not care fast food is junk food; they care whether they could finish their tasks on time and if they could accomplish their work better than others.It is common that one forgets his lunch time and keeps working until midnight.Irregular eating time and junk food make the eating habit of modern people extremely unhealthy.Even some people have no time watching TV or newspapers,so they don鈥檛 know about advertisements.How do those advertisements have any effect on them?Only when people are aware of that they are earning money in exchange of their health and stop this terrible process will they
Finally,the price of healthy food is usually high,so people may choose unhealthy food just because of the price.Once in supermarket I saw that eggs are much more expensive that are laid by chicken which are not injected with hormone than those laid by chicken with hormone injections.Although we know that the expensive eggs are healthier,we still chose the cheaper eggs since the price is too high to purchase.Capable of affording healthy food are those people who own lots of money.If food manufactures produce food with more attention to people鈥檚 wholesomeness,there would be more healthy food that can be purchased by common people.
All in all,there are lots of reasons that led people develop unhealthy habit,of course,including advertisement.From my perspective,the most important one is that we have less time on preparing eating and think little about it.
