Showing children a simple advert will not change attitudes. Until the culture changes, children will continue to eat junk food.
There is a lack of proper education within schools about diet and exercise, most importantly in primary schools. The little education there is comes far too late - by the time young people receive it they already have firm attitudes.
This advertising campaign will have little impact because it does not address the root causes. There should be more information about the effects of poor diet and lack of exercise given to both parents and young people.
