EWWW fat in a can

Wow, that ad campaign was really disgusting. But it definitely got the message out there to the people who drink a can of pop every day, or every meal. The ad compaign really lets the audience know how much sugar and fat they are ingesting. For me personally, I never really drink pop unless I'm at a party or a special event. The scare tactic really does summarize how much sugar and fat you are ingesting in your body. It may be disgusting but it really underlines the health problems that come along with drinking pop. If the U.S were to impose a tax on pop or chips it would definetely help people because it would give them less choices, therefore slimming down America. After asking, other people in the library where I'm blogging, alot of people say that they would probably eat chips and drink pop less but would still drink it. If everyone just drank pop a little less everyone could probably save 5 pounds of weight because all you have to do is cut your pop intake. There is no need to fully cut it out of you diet but just drink in proportion. If you eat everything in proportion you would actually lose more weight than having an eating disorder. But getting back to the topic, the ad really really did get the message out there. If the U.S really decide to impose a tax, it would really help people in controlling their weight and reducing childhood obesity. A lot of people don't have self control, so these people need other people to control for them. Its the only way to making North Americans healthier.

  1. I agree completely! Sure, it won't completely stop the pop intake and junk food companies, but hey! It can cut back the purchase of it right? Which leads to a healthier America, and eventually, North America! Why didn't they think of this sooner? I hope to see this tax implemented. Somebody tell Obama.

    Yay Wayne!

  2. Ya i totally think that the AD CAMPAIGN DELIVERS GREAT INFORMATION to the information. Yeah i think that maybe less consumption of pop is better than nothing. I think that pop is still available..... so it still being available to the citizens.Well, most of the country isnt really in poverty to be in a situation where they cannot afford pop which might probably be just one dollar more. I understand your view points and they are very strong. You sure put on a good arguement.

  3. I agree completely, fat in a can or as i say portable fat eww. Taxing junk food will cut back on lots of people and their daily intake resulting in a skinnier or at least healthier North America. On the other hand some people might stop at nothing to get their daily fatty intake. Still taxing junk food will set lots of people back and hopefully have a positive outcome.
