Doom on a plate

"Surprising" new results: a study has revealed that simply seeing a certain food can heighten your desire for it. While this certainly is not a shock to consumers, it is something of which to take note.

It explains why we have such high obesity rates and a growing concern for nutritional consumerism. Advertising is everywhere, and people are easily-influenced, especially the time-crunched, multitasking adults of America. Fast food chains want people to see how inexpensive and simple it can be to obtain a dinner for five without washing one dish.

These cheap and easy dinners, however, are contributing to expanding belts across America. Solution? Revamp your will power. See the ads as art, not decision-makers. As an adult, you're free to make your own decisions on virtually anything. Why not decide to treat your body respectfully and give it the nutrients it deserves?
