Why is this trend deepening

Lack of understanding of the health consequences of children eating habits.
Junk food is easier and tastier for parents to feed their children. It is a stress free environment.
Appears especially appetizing.

Addictive Nature

Dopamine gets released when eating junk food.... Thus making us happy, therefore we consume more fattening junk food.
