    There is a constant dichotomy between advertisement telling people that they should eat more of XXX (put any kind of junk food here) and the society saying that they shouldn’t eat it.

    This alone has a big weight on mental health.

        Do you really think it was a billion dollar industry if it didn’t work? People might think they aren’t affected by it, but the constant barrage of carefully crafted advertisements will affect anyone’s subconscious. Coka Cola doesn’t need you to go out and buy their product right now. They just need to make you think a $4 bottle filled with $0.03/L unquestionably unhealthy sugar water is a fair exchange.

          I didn’t say they don’t work. I asked why people make decisions based on it. If you pay attention you can see all things commercials do to manipulate you emotionally. It’s always the same shit.
