Ever notice how you’re just watching television and relaxing and a good commercial airs and all of a sudden you have a craving for food? Even though you’re not hungry? I believe food ads in this country are powerful and entice our citizens to over eat when we aren’t hungry. On my health journey, I stopped watching television altogether, so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat… now I’m realizing part of the problem we have in this country, is because we are being influenced constantly by food companies. The USA has one of the unhealthiest and obese people on earth. I believe we can do better for our population!

I don’t know how many times I ate “junk food” due to this.
We banned cigarette advertising in the 60s. And while I also do not watch TV I don’t think hard liquor is advertised either. As most food ads are for unhealthy items (have you ever seen an ad for an apple?!), let’s just ban ALL food advertising to be fair across the board.
I believe eating habits can be addictions just like it would be alcohol, cigarettes, drugs or even gambling. Food advertisements are basically waving a crack rock in front of a crack head.
