Over the last several decades, fast food companies have aggressively targeted children in their marketing efforts

Is it possible that fast food companies—like tobacco companies—are recruiting increasingly younger consumers in order to insure a steady customer base as their older constituents die from heart disease, diabetes, and other obesity-related disorders? Or, are current fast-food advertisements ethical and simply interested in promoting their businesses in the most effective and lucrative way?  KEY:  Make sure your essay takes a specific stance and that you back up your position with enough evidence in the body of the essay.   For this topic, your essay must argue either “yes” or “no” and provide reasons why.  Those reasons must be developed with evidence:  opinions, claims, quotes, data, statistics, etc.  REQUIREMENTS:  3 PAGE MINIMUM.

Failure to meet the requirements will result in penalties. Also, failure to address the specific writing topic topics will result in a "No Credit."
