In the article "Celebrities for sale?" by Mark Bittman is about how more and more celebrities are advertising for junk foods.This gives children a bad influence because instead of trying to get kids to exercise and get out and play its getting kids to eat junk food.Junk food companies are willing to pay anything just to have a celebrity advertise their product for them.To have more people see and know their product.Overall celebrities have advertised for junk food companies and its not a good influence on people.
Since the celebrities are advertising these products more and more people are most likely going to get diabetes and obesity.These products are not nutritious these products for example,Pepsi can make you gain a lot of weight if you drink a lot of it.This would give teenagers more low self-esteem then they already have.Also these products are paying a lot of money just so that there product could be advertise.For example,Pepsi has spent 50$ million dollars for Beyonce to do her "Creative Projects" as said in the article.Junk foods have appeared on T.V a bunch of times.For example,there was 324 shots of Snapple in"America's got talent".Let's face it that's a lot a lot of times and Snapple is paying a lot of money just so that their product could be seen.This surprises me because I couldn't believe that this what the world has come to.Junk food products have payed so much and what are people getting out of this? unhealthy things that's what.Junk food products should tone down the advertising a bit because its everywhere.The subway station,inside the train,inside the bus,on yellow taxi's and last but certainly not least T.V where you will always find a junk food commercial.
All in all,I can't believe this is what the world has come to all these advertisements everywhere you look there will be an advertisement.Celebrities are willing to risk their fans health just to get money.In the article it is the beyonce and jay-z are worth 775$ million so now celebrities are things that are being sold.I think celebrities should say no to junk foods and try to do an advertisement for healthier foods.For example,vegetables and fruits that would cause less harm to their fans.
I never thought about this issue. But I totally agree with your opinion. I mean celebrities are in junk food commericials and some of the same are in healthy commercials. They are doing it for the fame and money. Great job, overall.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion and I have thought about it but they're also some doing good commercials and these commercials at some point have an impact on you good or bad. Good Job :)
