Have you ever wondered why Americans eat so much? Well, the food industry is an important reason that I would like to discuss. The growth of the food industry has made inexpensive, high-fat meals available around the world, and larger size has become a major selling point. McDonald’s sells the Big Mac, Wendy’s offers the Big Classic, and Burger King pushes the Whopper. Do you notice something similar with the names of these burgers? A large Coke at most fast food restaurants is now 32 ounces and 310 calories and at one point not too long ago it was only 12 ounces and 180 calories. If in fact 20 years ago children drank an average of 8 ounces of soda a day; today they drink an average of 24 ounces a day. The abundance of food we are surrounded with has secured a place in your mind, causing intense cravings and compulsions, and you need to do something about it.
Surprisingly, a 12-ounce can of soda contains 8 to 10 teaspoons of sugar, and many teens consume up to 7 cans a day, which equates to nearly 1,000 empty calories and 60 teaspoons of sugar. Try this for size: Kids today drink almost twice as much soda as milk.
To make matters worse, the fast food industry establishes promotional ties with major toy manufacturers, giving away simple toys with their children’s meals and selling high-profile toys at a discount. It’s a smart way to target kids, and a successful toy promotion can double or triple your weekly kids’ meal sales volume. Did you know that the second most recognized fictional character is Ronald McDonald, only surpassed by Santa Claus?
Ninety-six percent of American schoolchildren can identify Ronald McDonald before they can recognize their own name! Doesn’t that tell you something?
The fast food industry spends around $33 billion a year on advertising, and most of it is done subliminally, meaning the messages affect you without you even realizing it; without you knowing You may notice the content of a commercial, but you ignore it and infect your subconscious with a “virus”. The purpose of advertising is to hit you where it hurts the most: emotionally. Recently, I saw a particular fast food commercial that featured a mother and young daughter eating hamburgers and fries. It seemed innocent enough, but here’s the real message: The mom was dressed in a business suit with her briefcase, and the girl told her mom that she appreciated spending quality time like this with her. The mom looked at her daughter guiltily as they both smiled and ate their fries. A working mother who saw this commercial would have subconsciously absorbed this message, she would have felt guilty without even realizing it, and perhaps she would have visited the fast food restaurant without consciously knowing the real reason.
Most of us would agree that this type of brainwashing exists, but in the entire history of mankind no one who has been brainwashed has realized or believed it.
