IELTS Writing: Essay Topic 1

Here is the question statement:
"CHILDREN IN MANY COUNTRIES ARE EATING MORE FAST FOOD AND CONVENIENCE SNACKS.
WHY ARE CHILDREN DOING THIS AND HOW SERIOUS ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?”

All those preparing for IELTS, I advise you not to start typing as soon as you read the statement. First think of points to justify your stand. Let's start with some brainstorming:

POINTS FOR 'WHY ARE CHILDREN DOING THIS?'
- working mothers
- advertisements
- friends and peer pressure

POINTS FOR 'HOW SERIOUS ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?'
- health problems
- obesity

Think of as many points as you can and type them as comments to this post.
