Misleading Advertisements
Undoubtedly,
advertisements are sweet lies in India. Most of the companies, manufactures
make unscientific and undue claims about their products. For examples all the
companies that make biscuits, cold drinks, potato chips, candies, etc. make
appealing advertisements and play them again and again on different channels
luring and misguiding children and viewers into buying them are predominantly
unscientific and untrue. If the Health Ministry had been really thoughtful of
the well being of the children and, it would keep a check on such
advertisements that lure the consumers with bogus claims.
The truth is
there is no substitute for natural balanced diet such as green vegetables,
fruits, nuts, milk, cereals, pulses, etc.; the nutritional values that these
foods contain can never be replaced by the advertised products, still there is
never an advertisement on them, even by the Government. The bitter truth is the
companies of all products spend a whopping amount of money on advertisements.
Since these companies enjoy enough power owing to their influence, they often
display misleading and false claims about their products. Their chief objective
is to earn maximum profit by increasing sale of their products. According to a
report by Compass, 70% of three year olds recognise the McDonalds symbol but
only half of them know their own surname. In addition, some advertisers
take advantage of children's fears, for example by implying that they will be
more popular, sporty or happier if they consume the advertised products.
The use of sports stars to promote unhealthy products, such as Virat Kohli
advertising Pepsi, Sachin Tendulkar promoting Coca-cola, further do the damage.
Owing to the
misleading advertisements, the food habits of children have changed
considerably and their heath has been affected adversely. The Government must
make health regulatory policies to keep people safe from the influence of the
advertisements.
The only solution to the problem is strict rules and regulations concerning advertisement and marketing of junk food items. The government must not allow the rich companies to play with the health of the future of the
