Junk food advertising involves promoting high-calorie, low-nutrition products like sugary snacks, fast food, and sodas. These ads often Target children and teenagers through TV commercials, social media, and other media channels, using appealing visuals, catchy slogans, and popular characters to influence choices. The goal is to encourage quick, impulse purchases and brand loyalty, despite the health risks associated with excessive consumption of such foods, such as obesity and related diseases. Public health advocates often critique these advertising practices for contributing to poor dietary habits, especially among vulnerable populations like children.
