Fast Food Advertisement

Is fast food advertising food to children that will later hurt them?  According to Fox News, "A little less, I'm lovin' it could put a significant dent in the problem of childhood obesity.."  A lot of commercials these days are advertising places such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger king, etc.  These places are unhealthy and they are causing people to become obese.  Being the second most obese state, Mississippi is drowning in what is being played on tv over and over again.  Also, statistics show that " Others have estimated children see fast food commercials tens of thousands of times a year."  I think this is definately unnecessay.  Children need to be healthy and active, and these fast food commercials are making their tastebuds dance for delight over these greasy hamburgers and french fries.  They need to fix this problem because Mississippi and other states are going down the wrong road all because of fast food.  This is really hurting people and it is becoming an ethical problem.
