The article is about how children obesisty is rapidly increasing and is it right to advertise junk food for children to see. They feel that its right only if its done responsibly. They do feel advertising snack foods with low fat is okay, but when they advertise the higher snack foods they feel that its not good for the children to be seeing them cause they could want them. Obesity rates are escalating 14.5% of 11 year olds are obese and 21.5% of 12-16 year olds are obese at this time in England. We are now event seeing type two diabetes from being overweight, and 1/3 of heart disease and cancer are realated to poor diet.

This shows me that obesity is a problem throughout the world today, and its even starting to occur with the younger age group.

I feel that this article will help me to establish my point of view with obesity because there are so many people obese now and it is really starting to become a health issue. So for this article i am against it. I am Con.

This article will help me with my decision because i don't like how the number of children and teens today that are obese. It is a health issue and seeing people get type two diabetes from being obese is horrible to hear about.

What is type two diabetes?

Why do you get it?
