Created by Strong4Life—a campaign started by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—this thought-provoking ad wants parents to ‘stop the cycle’ of obesity at the source: childhood.



Titled ‘Rewind the Future’, the ad shows an overweight man being wheeled into the emergency room after suffering from a heart attack. The doctors asked themselves “how the hell does that happen” and a flashback of his life is shown.



It was revealed that the man has been constantly snacking on junk food since young—an unhealthy habit started by his mother that followed him into adulthood.



The ad ends with a message, encouraging parents to “reverse the unhealthy habits” that their kids take into adulthood.
