My 2 reasons why people should advertise junk food is – people pay 4 it nd that could help by going to charity or something like that. My other reason is that it’ll make people get out of the house.

My 2 reasons why people should’nt advertise junk food is – People might get greedy and get fat.my other reason is that people will end up going to the restaurant and it would b full.

I am also very impressed by the quality of responses from your students! I would be delighted to receive such work from many of my pupils, and I’m teaching in a secondary school!

I am hoping to start some class blogging in September as part of a research project, and I have just found your site. I think it’s the best example of class blogging that I have seen so far, being used in the sort of way that I hope to develop at my school. I have put a link to your blog on my own one, so that other teachers can be inspired – thank you!

tw0 reasons junk food should be allowed to advitise is that people enjoy junk food and people that run the buissness need it or they might end up liveing on the street.

2 reasons it shouldnt advitise is that it might make people think they should eat it all the time and they might become fat.:( also people might think that they have to eat it instead of the healthy option.

1. I think junk food advertising should be allowed because it helps to promote food that people might enjoy.

2. Another reason why I think junk food advertising should be allowed is because owners of junk food shops should be permitted to advertise their products and maximise their profits.

1. I think junk food advertising shouldn’t be allowed because that kind of food has been shown to make people obese and suffer from heart disease.

2. I also think that junk food advertising should not be allowed because it costs us money. All of the people suffering from heart disease and obesity have to be treated by doctors and hospitals. If everyone ate well then this money could be used to find cures for other diseases like Cancer.

FOR:
1.I think it should be allowed because it is O.K to have junk food every once in a while.

2.I also think it should be allowed because most people that work at McDonalds and other fast food places want to get paid,and to get paid they need customers.

AGAINST:
1.I don’t think it should be allowed because sometimes people,if they see the adverts,they might like the look of the food and eat it,then get addicted.

2.I also don’t think it should be allowed because sometimes if they get addicted after seeing the advert,if they get too fat,they may die.

I think junk food should be advertised because people need to have a little sugar to stay healthy.

Another reason why is I think people enjoy it and that is fine as long as you don’t have too much.

One reason why I don’t think it shoud be advertised is because there is too many people advertising and that encourages the people to eat more which is why so many people are obese.

Another reason is that it damages your teeth and people,especially children sometimes can’t be bothered to brush their teeth.

FOR-

I think advertising junk food should be allowed and it lets customersknow what they can get for there money.

Also i think it should be allowed because there is people out there that might enjoy the particular junk food and it could be very popular.
The junk food advertisments could also be more popular than other advertisments that nobody pays attention too.

AGAINST-

I dont think that junk food advertising should be allowed as it is making people think its good too eat junk food but it can really make you unhealthy.

Another reason why it should be banned is that junk food is making a lot of people over weight and obese!!

Ithink people should be allowed to advertise junk food because most people really like junk food and there is nothing wrong with having a bit every so often.
I also think it should be allowed because junk food is always a nice change from all the fodd some people normally get and it’s nice to know that if you have had enough of eating food that you get at your own house or you’re sick of cleaning all the dishes then you know that there is somewhere you can have a nice change.
I think they should not be allowed because it sometimes makes people think “Well, if this is as good as these guys say it is why don’t I have it all the time” and they just make themselves fat and overweight.
I also think they should be banned because if a person see’s an advert and says “Well, that sounds nice I’d like to try that” and they try it and they like it so much that they go regularly they could kill themselves.

YES:

I think that they should be able to advertise junk food because everyone deserves a treat after a while and people like to know what there is to eat before getting there and finding out that they don’t have any burgers, hot-dogs, etc.

I also think they should advertise junk food because people wouldn’t know where to go to eat and perhaps in the future if they made healthy junk food (I don’t know if that is possible) no one would know about it.

NO:

I don’t think they should be able to advertise junk food because it might start to make people go regurly and they could become very sick because of the cheap meat or because they aren’t getting enough vitimins or anything from other food groups.

I also think that they shouldn’t advertise junk food because many people could gain weight.
