790 Words4 Pages

Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King and McDonald’s. The question that comes to my mind when I see all these fast food companies is, are they becoming healthier? If I asked you this question, I would not be surprised with your answer. I would not be surprised because I expect your answer to be “No they are not becoming healthier.” We have all seen fast food advertisements on television.

Burger King is not as well known as McDonald’s because McDonald’s franchise is bigger than Burger King’s franchise in my opinion. Burger King’s advert advertise their food as being healthy. The way they advertise their food as being healthy as that they have apples shaped like fries and they put it into a fries container with an apple sign on the front cover. This advertisement are confusing kids. Back in 2010, researchers showed one hundred kids a picture of the advert and the results are unbelievable. 90 percent of a hundred of kids identify the apples as fries in the ad. Only 10 percent identified them as apples. This information shocked me because I expected at least 90 percent to identify them as apples. This advertisement is outrageous. It is fooling kids to buy fries instead of apples. With this advert in 2010, I do not know what to expect from Burger King in the years to come. This advertisement does not fool me because it is aimed at kids below the age of six. If they aimed it at teenagers, the advertisement would be useless and be a waste of

  • Informative Speech On Fast Food

    434 Words  | 2 Pages

    While researching information on this project, the information I found included many things the fast food industry keeps from us that we often do even think about. For example, a food product can be labeled as “sugar free” but can be substituted with other things such as, agave which is often worse due to its high concentration in fructose syrup. Another example would be that, Gerber uses fruit pictures to claim its Gerber’s are made from real fruit when in reality they are filled with corn syrup, syrup and grape juice concentrate. These are known as “calorie distracters” and work really well on people who refuse to give up eating fast food. Whether they know that fast and processed foods are unhealthy or not, they are satisfied by knowing that a label says “sugar free” and therefore it is okay for them to consume it.
