Advertising doesn't make you want it. Advertising finds out what you want, then makes it appeal to you. You already want it.

Well according to some people we shouldn't have the FDA either. We should get the government out of our food.

What are your stats? Height and weight? I bet you're not actually obese according to the BMI scale.

Go watch that video Zach posted the other day.

People didn't even know they wanted chunky-style spaghetti sauce. They told Prego they wanted something entirely different.

Then Prego started giving them options...

I was sitting in a movie theater the other day, and this big ad started playing with a giant soda and popcorn. The soda was fizzing and sparkling, the popcorn had butter running over it...it looked so inviting.

Before that ad I wasn't even thinking about popcorn or soda. After it, I had to resist temptation.

Watch Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me and tell me the food industry isn't to blame....

So what would you have the government do, specifically, about fat folks and the food industry? What sort of laws would you create?

Also, Aspartame isn't evil in small amounts. Just like anything, the devil is in the dosage.

Yes. What advertising really does is repackage and sell you your own already existing desires and convince you to associate satisfying those desires with a thing that's for sale. The beautiful part is that as long as they're selling you your own deepest cravings, it doesn't matter what the thing is that they want you to buy. You'll buy it.

This doesn't even make sense, luv.

Making someone want something is making it appeal to them.

You can create appeal without previous desire. Watch a movie trailer.

If you go back and read my previous posts, I'm not advocating legislation or control. Rather an effort to make losing weight, exercising and eating healthy easier and cheaper.

That's really all they can do. Or should do.

Just because an ad comes on doesn't mean I'm going to go out and get popcorn unless I want it.

Dude, it's not a movie, it's freaking food. There's not a living thing on this planet that isn't born wanting it.
