I'm pretty sure many of you have heard on news, developing studies about how TV commercials influence young kids to get fat. Do YOU think that's true? You don't need a child to answer, just state your opinion. If a kid was continuously watching commercials about some new chocolate snack, they might ask to get it. Or, commercials like usual exaggerate these mystical powers of these fat filled foods. What do you thing?

I believe that commercials influences obesity. It's part of it, not all of it. Part of the responsibility lies within the parents as well, since they are the main provider of money and the sort. Younger children do not know discipline at that age.
