## Resource

A recent fast food ad from oversees had some people wondering why a model did not bite a hamburger. It seems like a strange controversy considering this a common practice; mainly because those food products are essentially props. But others noticed that the issue may be related to the quality of actress, not the food. Whereas oversees commercials often feature normal looking people, American ads seem to be increasingly showcasing certain groups of people, and the most unvttravitce within those groups. It turns out junk food companies specifically target those communities too with their advertising. We know that European products are better and Japanese ones match the package image, so why is none of this true in the US? Why are we ripped off with the weight, size, and look of products? Also, why is so-called shrinkflation now growing to include AI programs and other services? *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
