Blog #4
I don't think this ad is effective because it gives out to many messages. I think it is suppose to be sending out the message children should not sit around and watch tv or eat junk food because it is unhealthy. Their are also other messages in the ad. Messages like, being fat is bad, you have to be perfect, do everything you can so you don't look like this. Messages like this are too confusing. Instead of dealing with obesity in children it could make a kid feel like they have to be perfect. Kids need to know what they should do to be health. They shouldn't be shown what healthy looks like or should be. Being healthy is not all about weight. Ultimately the responsiblity should be put on the parents of the children. They are the ones who provide the food for their children and pick what activities they can and can't do. Parents need to buy healthy food and limit the amount of time their children can be connected to things like the tv, computer, or video games.

I think you are right on. I completaly agree with every single point you made in your response and the point you brought up about the parents in something new i didnt think about but you are right, kids who are young are leraning something from their parents and if the lifestyle they grow up with is unhealthy they wont know any better.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the AD a little differently then you did. But you did make good points. Parents need to monitor what their kids eat and whether they are outside playing or inside just sitting around.
