I think adverts for junkfood should not be allowed because:
1.it tells us to eat unhealthily
2. its disgusting what goes into junk food and they want us to eat it!!!!!!!
I think adverts for junkfood should be allowed because:
1. they are always trying to improve the recipes for junk food but still make them taste good and make them healthier.
2. they are trying to sell us junk food because people are not eating enough today so they are trying to keep us at our optimain weight.:-)

I think advertising of junk food should be allowed because:
1. Some junk foods are cheaper than making food from scratch.Fruit, vegetables, fish and meat are still expensive to buy. Not every family can afford beef steak!
2.The company who is making the junk foods have a right to advertise and they have the right to make money. We can’t stop them!
I think advertising for junk food should not be allowed because:
1.They are trying to get us to buy it and make us gain weight, become unfit and unhealthy
2.It increases fat levels in blood causing problems in later life and therefore more expense for our health service.

I think adverts for junkfood should be allowed beacause:

junk food should be banned because
1.it leads to obeseity and heart disease if you eat it 24/7.
2.McD’s burgers are mostly full with artificial meat than real meat so they are basically lying to their customers.
junk food shouldn’t be banned because
1.if you are late for something and youre really hungry you could buy a burger for 70p and it would be made fast.
2.if everyone stopped buying a certain company’s product they would eventually run out of business and lose their money which would be a pity.

I think junk food advertising should be aloud because…
1.Junk food can be used as an award if you have been good.
2.Junk food is good because it tastes good but they are trying to do their best to make it taste good and cut down on the amount of fat and salt they use.
I think advertising for junm food should not be aloud because…
1.It is very unhealthy and it increases your fat level and that can cause problems later on in life.
2.The bad thing about is that it is addictive so people want more of it so they waste alot of money buying more and more junk food.

For junk food to be advertised because
1. The people that run the resturaunt’s will want to show people what they are selling
2. It tates good and not everybody likes vegetables.
For junk food to not be advertised because
1. If you keep eating junk food constantly you are getting fatter and fatter.
2. If junk food is not advertised you are saving quite alot of money.
