Junk food vs Healthy food

Nowadays children and teenagers prefer eating junk food more than healthy food, because junk food is tastier. They think healthy food can't be tasty , but they are mistaken. There is a plenty of both tasty and healthy food. Junk food can be dangerous for kids ,it is useless,  it also polutes the envirenment.
 There are also a lot of advertisments on junk food , which are supposed to be shown to children . Children get attracted to any kind of junk food easily, and ask their parents to buy it for them, sometimes they do it themselves and eat the unhealthy food without their parents even knowing about that. I consider that adverts on junk food must be banned. 
For example i remember a Nestle advertisment in wich is said "Even healthy can be tasty". In my view it is very creative slogan, and it is true.
It seems like, the food seems tastier when we know it is not healthy.
There are also adverts on toys or some childish stuff, to which kids also get attracted easily, but that kind of adverts shouldn't be banned, because actually toys aren't dangerous for children. But unhealthy food is really dangerous and can do harm, so it is not usefull. It cantains a lot of salt, sugar, calories. It is now available for all countries, it is widely spread all over the world. We see junk food wherever we go, in alsmost every shop. Junk food can also lead to overeating, because every time you eat you get a desire to eat more and more every time. 
Junk food includes cheap burgers, unhealthy sandwiches, chips, fried chickens, french fries,some kind of pizza(e.g.pepperoni), hot dog,some drinks also as coca-cola, pepsi, fanta, lemonade etc. 
I think there are more adverts on junk foods than on healthy foods, because advertisers know that children are attracted to junk food. Anyway there should be a lot of creative advertisments on healthy food to get children's and teenagers' attention, that can be both healthy and tasty. Parents should teach their children to healthy food eating habbits since preschool years, as they get older it is even more difficult to change their habbits.Anyway that doesn't mean children should never eat any kind of junk food, mostly thay must eat healthy food, but rarely they can also try some chips, sandwiches etc. But today it has become a common problem, as they want to it only some kind of junk food.
There are still some healthy food that aren't tasty. But there are also delicious healthy food.
I myself like eating junk food, and to say the truth i eat it often. But now i understand how problematic it can be, so i will try to eat less unhealthy, and more healthy and tasty food.
