Which sentence contains evidence for the main idea that junk food companies sponsor children's activities to increase their popularity?
Junk Food and Advertising
Nowadays, more people are aware of the bad effects of junk food. Many people now blame the companies that produce junk food for our
nation's weight problems. Junk food companies are scrambling to save their reputations. One way to reach this goal is to sponsor community
events and activities, such as sports games. Sponsoring an event means the company helps pay for the event. It also means the company gets
to put its logo on all items connected with the event. By putting their logos on sports uniforms and other items, the companies can increase
their presence in people's minds. In other words, sponsoring such events allows companies to advertise their products. Companies can also
claim that they are helping to keep kids healthy by supporting sports and other healthy activities. For example, in Australla, a soft drink
company has sponsored under-13 rugby. Junior soccer, and junior basketball school tournaments. All this sponsoring goes against the
company's policy of not advertising to kids.
