Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #35843 Health campaigners
Instructions
The  rate  of  diet-related  diseases  is  currently  growing  at  a  rapid  rate.  This  has  led  to  restrictions  being  put  in  place  to  monitor  the  type  of  commercials  that  advertisers  are    at  children.
Health  campaigners  advocated  a  ban  on  high-fat,  high-sugar  advertisements  during  television  shows  aimed  at  children,  with  their  proposal  passing  in  government.  They  argued  that  regulating  the  adverts  children    makes  them  less  likely  to  consume  unhealthy  foods.
The  problem  is  that  the  regulations  have  become  complex.  A  recent  decision  made  by  the  Advertising  Standards  Agency  prohibited  the  showing  of  a  cereal  advert,  as  it  was  deemed  high  in  salt  and  sugar,    a  large  fast-food  company  still  being  allowed  to  advertise  their  high-in-fat  meals  simply  by  replacing  their  fries  with  carrot  sticks.
The  policy  is  only  in  its  early  stages,  and  further  research  needs  to  be  carried  out  to  assess  the  effects  the  ruling  has  had  on    spending.  Ultimately,  the  decision  about  how  advertising  influences  what  one  buys  lies  with  the  consumer.
