Should they
ban junk food ads from TV?
Of course
they should.
Over 50% of the population is overweight as a
direct result of junk food. We all know obesity is out of control in this
country, and promoting empty calories from fat and sugar is somehow OK based on
the rights of capitalism. Give me a break. The industry promotes products that
are processed with toxins to numerous to count, and is allowed to pass it off
as food, because sleazy lawyers manage to skirt the rules by putting a sliver
of lettuce on top and call it health food. Interesting to note that fast-food
meat is processed with Ammonia to kill the Ecoli from the poorly raised beef
stock from where it came.
No, though
there needs to be restrictions on what companies say, they ought to have the
right to advertise without the government acting like the peoples' nanny.
They should
not be allowed to lie and say that their products are healthy but by banning
the ability to advertise the government is giving a huge blow to their
business.
I would
like that forbade fast food advertizing on TV, but it doesn't depend on me!
