Young are lazy, Fat and drink to much

This article has to be one of the most eye catching news articles i have seen just because of the very harsh way that the title is written.

This article is very bias towards the younger generations. At no stage throughout the whole article is there an opinion from the younger people that it is aimed at. I found it quite shocking from the fact that this is a national newspaper producing an article that is so far away from one group. This article discuses with a lot of professors to make it seem more realistic. They use a lot of quotes to back up what their saying. "That is the stage at which the foundations for a healthy life are laid," this person is saying that people need to start eating more healthy. So this professor is sticking up for the writer of this article.

Later on in the article, the writer go's on to say, "The findings demonstrated the need to act early to prevent young people developing the bad habits that could turn them into chronic invalids later in life." He starts to use things that will worry the readers if they are any of the characteristics that the article is about. In my opinion they shouldn't do this because it isn't nice to say this about people. They are basically saying that every single young person is either, fat, addicted to beer or addicted to fags. This is wrong because of the fact that not a lot of people actually are.

Overall i think this article is very bias and shouldn't really be able to say what it has actually said because is not correct on a lot of it. Not every young person is this kind of stereotype that this article has made them out to be.
