say CHEESE!

Advertisements have a great way of portraying prducts to look good. Some of them are very persuasive and some are not. In this particular advertisement we see that it portrays cheese as being an American thing to eat. Which in fact I believe cheese has had a great affect on us as well as other dairy products have too. It is something that we have come to value and love. The fact that we have access to such a great product that tastes so great, it has become more of a want than a need. We as Americans, have become one of the unhealthiest nations because of the excessive amounts of foods we have access to. We take things for granted and consume so much of certain products without thinking of the health factors behind it. It is something that our nation has widely ignored. Food advertisements are not going to give us much health factors either. But even if they did, many of us still do not care and eat these products because that is how we have been raised. It is the “American” thing to do. We also must admit that because of the awesome taste some of these products provide, it is why we ignore these factors.
Some of these foods just become addictions. Even if we know they are bad for our health, we still eat these products because of the great taste satisfaction they provide us. My addiction is cheese. For this reason Ichosed this ad to write about. I love cheese! I always have to have cheese in almost everything I eat. I like cheese in enchiladas, tortas, salads, pasta, lasagña, tacos, potatoes and beans. There are also macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, and nachos too. There is just so much you can do with cheese as well as many different types. There are riccotta, parmesan, swiss, american, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and many more! You can say that i am one of those peoples who ignore health factors too. But like i mentioned, cheese is not just my addiction but it has become a very popular addiction that many have acquired too. For example, earlier in the semester I had a guest speaker in my class trying to express his feelings towards why we should consider going vegan. He explained that the main reason why people become vegetarians instead of vegan is because of cheese and how many can not let go of this product. Although, too much dairy can be bad and lead to health problems. According to goodelements.com, it is said that the consumption of dairy from animals is bad because often hormone, pesticide, and anti-biotic residues are present in these products which causes us to get exposed with infections and other health problems. Consuming too much dairy products has a higher risk at health problems than consuming meats. Ads do not really help in providing us this kind of information. But even though some of us may know thes factors, we ignore them and continue eating the foods we love. It is something that we have become accostumed to. It is just so hard to say no to something that tastes so great! Cheese is something that has become so popular in foods.
