Article No. 4

One of the most in depth studies related to fast food nutrition and marketing has reported that American young children see countless ads of such fast-food restaurants on the television. 
According to the report, a preschooler on an average gets to see 3-ads in a day, while a teenager gets to see 5-ads in a day. And most importantly, the fast food industry ended up spending about $4.2 billion in 2009 which was much more than estimated before that. The estimated money is spent on advertisements on TV, internet and social networking sites, apart from billboards and pamphlets.
