Fast food advertisements, lack of outdoor activities, and reduced parental control all contribute to childhood obesity. Many of the food choices these children make will have long-term effects on their health and well-being. In conclusion, all health food options should be in their advertisements so that children see more of them rather than fast food advertisements. We also need to provide more opportunities for children to play outside and participate in outdoor activities.
