Food companies targeting kids online
Greedy marketing executives have found a new way of selling their products to children - Internet games,
The world's junk food makers are trying to sell their burgers, chocolate and soft drinks to children who play
games online. A new report says more than eighty percent of the world's food companies are using this sly new
method
The report was created by America's Kaiser Family Foundation. It is called "It's Child's Play Advergaming
and the Online Marketing of Food to Children. It is the first major analysis of how food companies advertise to
children on the Web. It highlights the tactics of companies such as Mars, Hersheys and McDonalds in targeting
kids. The report says online ads are more effective than TV ads at hooking children.
Sadly, the report brings a new word into the English vocabulary -the "advergame". This is a technique to get
kids hooked while they are having fun online. In addition, many other m
spend long periods of time online. The food companies fill the games with logos and advertisements. They
encourage children to e-mail their friends about products and brands. They also recommend children join special
clubs related to the games.
- Children can increase their chances of winning games by buying the products and typing in special codes
found inside the packaging. Many people are worried about the role food advertising plays in childhood obesity.

Subject: Instructions for Making My Favorite Dessert

Dear [Recipient],

I hope this email finds you well. Today, I would like to share with you the recipe for my all-time favorite dessert - chocolate lava cake.

To make this delectable dessert, you will need the following ingredients: 200g of dark chocolate, 100g of unsalted butter, 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.

Begin by preheating the oven to 200°C. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Gradually fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until the batter becomes silky and thick.

Next, grease individual ramekins and pour the batter evenly into each one. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes. The goal is to achieve a firm outer shell while keeping the center gooey and molten.

For some extra indulgence, you can serve the chocolate lava cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrasting temperatures and textures create a delightful experience for your taste buds.

In conclusion, I highly recommend trying out this recipe for chocolate lava cake. It is incredibly easy to make and guarantees a heavenly chocolatey treat. Enjoy!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
