hmmm

As many of us know the adertising companies are very good at using different techniques to lure us into buying their products. The most commonly used technique is the scare tactic; used to make consumers scared of being the only ones NOT using the products. I read an article in Seventeen magazine a while back that kind of disturbed me. The article explained the proper way to eat a meal. The time, the place, the reason. It analyzed different ways young girls eat, and the solutions for eating better. I thought to myself: As if it isn't bad enough that young girls see all of these deathly skinny models. Now the media is implying that young girls are njot eating right, and they need to stop. If this article was possibly in a magazine directed towards middle age women, I could understand. However, young girls do not need to constatly worry about what and when they are eating. There is a point where it becomes very ridiculous.

Was it an article, or an advertisement? There's a big difference...
