Welcome, Heavyweights!

In this blog, I'll be discussing the effects of fast-food advertising in television on children, and how it could lead to obesity. Why is this important? Well, I would like to see a world full of people healthy in body and mind, rather than a world of obese, smelly, grease-filled sacks of potatoes. Unfortunately, citizens of our country have been getting bigger and bigger over the past couple years, and my team and I suspect that fast-food advertising is one of the reasons behind it. So we'll be looking at research that tested for effects of fast-food advertising on children, specifically those aged 5-12. Our goal is to see if fast-food advertising really does increase a child's chance of obesity. And with these results, we will move to reduce such advertising and help kids lead a healthier lifestyle.
