CH 10 Q2

After reading both articles, I personally feel as if Liodice has the better argument of the two. His perspective provides that advertising should be a choice and demonstrates that advertising is part of our free speech. Liodice details the first amendment and how we have the right to free speech. We cannot make certain regulations like Wootan provides because it is an individuals own responsibility. He takes more of solving obesity approach than anything else. He wants the government to search for ways to overcome obesity. On the other hand, Wootan implies that children’s food advertising should be disregarded. Her argument comes off as very strong because they are basically guidelines that forces people to meet the certain criteria in regards to advertising. It becomes more of a to-do list rather than the freedom of promoting whatever an individual wants. Lastly, Wootan looks like she doesn’t understand that children will be children. Children will always be eating unhealthy.
