We are bombarded with food advertisements daily on tv, coupons, billboards by the food industry. We can be driving down the road and we come across our favorite fast food restaurant. We are not even hungry but we see the 2 for $3.00 meal and have a second breakfast.
After the promotion ends, what do we do, we order 2 because we are used to eating two. I'd say the advertisement was a success. Food advertisers spend billions and billions manipulating us emotionally through our stomachs.
Take time to consciously think about what we are eating and how much. New York requires that calorie contents be disclosed on the menu while ordering. You would be suprised at the amount of calories you consume in the 2 for $3.00 deal
