Children's food habits. a lot of talks and not much walk.

Ms. Telshi from Ireland solves the paper as follows:  

Though much has been said about the unhealthy eating habits of children world over, what is done towards rectifying the same is very little. Some say it is due to the belief that parents are responsible for children’s eating habits while others blame the absence of controls on food market forces.

Try to see the substance behind these two views and say what you think of the second opinion.

These days, although people are aware about the unhealthy eating habits of children, the solutions being found for this issue are not enough.  Many people assume that (no comma after that) it is because of the belief that parents are accountable for children’s eating habits. However, others disagree saying that loss of control over the food companies that (connector that) plays an important role.

It is well-known to all that, in this fast paced world, people prefer to adopt more convenient and easer life. Therefore, parents have a tendency to buy food from outside especially fast foods which are easily available in the market. Eventually, children happen to be addicted to (not become addict) towards such food items that would create health problems. If parents try to cook nutritious food at home, it will reduce the adverse effects of overconsumption of fast foods. Apart from that, parents themselves cut poor models for children in terms of food habits. So bad food habits get bred at home, and not much can be done to address it from outside.

On the other hand, some people think that food companies have tremendous impact in children’s eating habits. Nowadays, food companies show many advertisements in the media that would encourage children to buy such items. If governments can put controls over such ads, it (not that) would be beneficial and children could, thereby, be freed from the temptations of bad foods.

Moreover, most of the food industries add more artificial ingredients in order to attract children and keep them follow their foods. Therefore, even if parents are concerned and worried of their children’s food habits, the 24x7 media influence on children in too big for parents to deter their children from bad habits. Food market is a force here, and parents are at a disadvantage. (read the question and read the last part of the above paragraph. Do not go away from the question)

From the above mentioned points, it can be concluded that, in this fast moving world, food market forces have huge impact in children’s life. Hence, it is the responsibility of the authorities to ban the items which are risks to health. Parents alone cannot do much, neither can governments; it is rather a collective mission.
