BBC NEWS
You read in the news all the time about epidemics, natural disasters, famines....A lot of negative things are happening in the world. However, having media, like channels on T.V. and internet sites, allows us to access this information quickly. I know that when I read the news I am more grateful for my living situation in Canada, the clean water and ample food I have available here...thank you Media for the information!
The above commercial, and commercials like it promotes health, and reaches a large population....thank you Media!
Overall, although there are many negative aspects to media affecting our food choices, there are also some beneficial ones too.
Various forms of media (TV, Magazines, Movies, News, Billboards) will always be a part of the North American Culture, so hopefully we can move towards more and more health promoting ads, and less consumerism ads. I guess we'll have to wait and see....what do you think the trend is?
Hello Julie,
ReplyDeleteI like this way of thinking! I doubt it would be possible to eliminate "bad food" ads, however, I think we can overpower them with good food ads, such as the commercials we will see soon! Good work!
