  3. 5 ways the media plays a role in childhood obesity:
    1. Fast Food Ads.
    2. Barely any 'Get Active' Ads.
    3. Everything revolves around technology.
    4. No healthy food ads.
    5. Everywhere you look there is either a food ad or something unhealthy but nothing that advertises healthy stuff. If everyone wants obesity to stop then why are there so many unhealthy ads.

  7. 5 ways media plays a role in childhood obesity:
    - By advertising fast food
    - By encouraging you to drink soft drinks
    - By advertising junk foods
    - Constantly flashing foods in your face making you hungry even when you are not
    - By forcing commercials, forcing you to watch them or ignore them, and delaying your show [makes you sit around on the couch longer just waiting for your show to come on]
