Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the influence of digital platform food marketing on teenagers and raises concerns about pesticide residues in commonly consumed food items.

Leyla criticizes the unethical nature of these marketing practices, emphasizing their potential to shape teen dietary habits negatively.
