Today, we are going to learn more about advertisements and why there are so many of them.

There are commercials for all kinds of products, but we are only going to talk about food and drink commercials!

Did you know that most food advertisements are for foods that are bad for us?

Well, they are! These foods are high in fat, sugar, and/or salt. It might make the food taste good but if you eat too much of it you might get sick when you are older.

Commercials can be very tricky. Advertisers cannot lie to us about their product but they don’t have to tell the whole truth either! That means commercials can tell you all the good things about a product but leave out all the bad things.

Would you buy something if they told you it may cause cancer, diabetes, or a heart attack?
