Not a surprise to some of us. And I don't doubt that the marketers know this and use it to their advantage.

This is definitely true for me. In fact, I had to cut down my time at places like Pinterest because of the food photos. It was hard for me. Commercials have a similar effect. The Food Network - no way. I used to watch for entertainment, now not at all.

Exact opposite for me. Maybe I have been finally deprogrammed. I see the TV ads for all the fast food places like KFC, MAC-D, Pizza and the Restaurants like TGIF, Olive Garden, etc and I wonder how anyone could or would eat that stuff. A part of me get a little PO'd too. This stuff is making people sick and they don't know it or ignore it. And when I have to be at an unfamiliar restaurant, I am stuck trying to explain why olive oil is NOT a health food. I wish we still had Fresh Choice where I live....:(

The fast foods do not interest me but I confess, if pastries were good for health...I would eat lots of them!!! :roll: :eek: :shock: :? Ha ha!! :D

However, I am happy with my broccoli and rice!!! :nod:
