Presentation-
Young children, and teenagers are getting fat. Fast food is influencing children so negatively that obesity rate among them is increasing fast and causing many problems these days. I am developing my understanding further on a relationship between junk food and children to come up with reasonable and appropriate solutions. This current issue not only leads to environmental problems because of percentage of plastic used on fast food that harms environment, but also to social problems among most young children in addition to bad influencing advertisements targeted at teenagers in the society. From the research that I've been doing until now, I found out that some countries are looking forward to work out these problems by limiting toy giveaways on fast food and trying to redefine what beneficial child-targeting marketing is, and encouraging companies to stop marketing to preschoolers entirely. I believe the best solution is to raise tax on junk food as a reasonable amount, which can link to economical problem as well. We should also raise awareness by giving education to young children how unhealthy junk food is with visuals that they realize junk food should be eaten not more than once in a month. I want to link all the problems while expanding this research even further that I can think of innovations I can make and propose changes that will help me achieve my vision.
