January 27, 2003 article. By Rbin young and Sam Coates
The article is about celebrities promoting junk food to children. Watchdog are concerned that celebrities are promoting the wrong types of food and this is causing children to want the wrong types of food.
"with rising levels of obesity and diabetes in children, top footballers could be excellent role models for children, demonstrating the link between a good diet and health" said Annie seeley, the nutritionist for the Food Commission.
"But instead we see adverts showing players from Manchester United and Blackcurn Rovers drinking pepsi, the Premier League logo on walkers crisps, and the Football association encouraging children to eat chocolate and wear McDonald's football kit"
This article shows how advertising uses techniques to make children want to eat 'junk' food. This can lead to obesity and effect body image.
