Living in the UK, I hardly eversee any advertisements about junk food .

I think that we should have more advertising to raise awareness of Junk Food, because more and more people are becoming obese and making their children obese etc. etc. It would be a good idea, because most people watch a lot of tv.

If we advertised about how bad eating junk food is for you, surely people would eat it less?

It's ok to eat junk food for special occasions and every once in a while, but not all the time!

And when people get so overweight that they have to have, for example, diet planners or surgery, hospitals have to spend more money on that...

What do you think? People....correct me if I'm wrong xP

Fat people are always determined to eat more and more. It's very impressive, and you can't interfere with such dedication.

I think most people already know that junk food is bad for them they just don't care, and i doubt a commercial will change that.

If someone eating fast food (I'm not talking about a kid that eats that because that's what their parents give to them) doesn't know it's bad for them, there's something wrong with them, and no commercial will be able to get it through to them that it's bad.
