Gluttony Vs Indulgence

156 Words1 Page

Natalie, I definitely agree with your assessment of the video being indicative of gluttony and over indulgence. I also agree that appeals to adults rather than children. Although it is humorous, it does show the lack of self-control of adults in this society, in addition to their willingness to hang onto temptation and risk severe consequences. It is an addiction, much like a drug. The forbidden donut in the video clip can be analogous to the “forbidden fruit” from the Garden of Eden story. Mankind just can’t seem to help themselves, even though most times they know better. Speaking of gluttony and over indulgence, we have seen many people morbidly obese from stuffing down way too much junk food, drunkards consume abuse alcohol excessively

    Also in the advertisements it’s not just focused to the kids, its sent to the parents also. If they say “One free toy in every kid’s meal for only $2.99”, a lot of parents would think it’s a good deal and if it’s getting late and there’s no dinner planned for the night, they will think that the fast food is cheap, convenient, and that the meal is the price you pay for. I have a little sister that’s almost eight years old and if we go through the drive through she always asks for a kid’s meal that comes with a toy, but did you know you can substitute the toy for an ice-cream cone? They “killed one bird with two stones”, in way because they just sold you unhealthy food and just on top of that a dessert. This is another example of how fast food is unhealthy for you and how they trick you to make the unhealthy choice that may seem

However, while some groups do have higher rates of obesity, every group has been gaining weight at the nearly the same rate.
