Commercials and Food

Hey there,

This isn't really any sort of inspiring post today .. but I was just thinking about all of the commercials you see about food.

My general philosophy is that if it has a commercial, you probably should not be ingesting it.

I was watching something the other day and unforunately I can't remember what it was, but they did say "You don't see commercials about Rolls Royce & they don't need them because everyone knows how great the quality is" or something along those lines.

I thought about that for a while. It stuck in my head. They had a really good point.

If something truly is THAT great, they don't need to make commercials to promote it. After that I started relating it to food and food products. It makes sense of course because that statement is absolutely correct. 

McDonalds, Wendy's, A&W, Pizza Pizza ... the list goes on and on, they all have commercials because they are trying to entice consumers to buy from them. In reality the food is garbage, less than 40% of fast food hamburgers are actually beef, the food is loaded with MSG and all kinds of chemicals that you should not be putting into your body.

You can apply the same philosophy to organic produce. Have you ever seen a commercial for an apple, banana or kale? No and you never will. The produce speaks for itself, its healthy, fresh and good for you.

The idea behind commercials is to entice you and I'm sure that everyone knows that already. If we all made better choices and just ignored the garbage we saw on television, they would all close but that will never happen.
We should all just try to make better, more wholesome, organic food choices rather than the junk that you see all over in advertisements.

Just my two cents for today!
