voice 2: Ms Mehta also wrote about 'product placement'. She wrote that companies 'place' products within films and television programmes for children. The companies use games and toys to make children recognise particular products. The children begin to choose those particular companies. And they continue to choose the same companies when they later become adults.
声音2：梅塔还谈到了“产品展示”。她写道，公司会在儿童电影和电视节目中“展示”他们的产品。公司还利用游戏和玩具让儿童认出特定的产品。随后儿童会开始选择这些公司。他们在长大成人后还会继续选择同公司的产品。

voice 1: Obesity in children is a growing problem. It is not just a problem in the West. It is a problem everywhere - in Latin America, Asia, even Africa. Increasing numbers of children are developing the disease diabetes. Ms Mehta says that this will have a negative effect on society in the long term. Obese diabetic children are more likely to develop other conditions when they are older. There will be a rise in health care costs. As adults, they may be unable to work. A decrease in the work force will put pressure on their national economies.
