Both Margo Wootan and Robert Liodice make a good argument about their perspective on advertisments who target children. Wootan argues that these advertisements target children, to influence their food selection and this is a huge factor that contributes to obesity rate. Wootan also made her argument stronger because she supported it with bunch of facts and nutrition guidelines. Although I agree the media have an impact on influencing children for their food choices, I do not believe it is entirely the advertisements’’ fault, instead, parents should be the blame as well. They have the control of deciding what is allowed for their children to consume and they are the one who are also responsible of understanding their children’s health. Therefore, I found Liodice’s argument to be stronger because he states that it is the company’s job to advertise their product but it is entirely up to us as consumers to decide what we want. It is important to understand more about a certain product before purchasing, or consuming it. If all stand by this rule in mind, advertisements should not be the blame for obesity.
