learning more about the influence of advertising on our weight-obsessed
society.
An examination of the impact of advertising on our society's
preoccupation with weight and thinness in which topics such
as modeling, body modification (i.e. plastic surgery), food
advertised as a drug, and the connection between food and
sex are discussed.
Other issues that are touched upon include
the double standard that is present within society for
men and women, the elusive diet industry, and the encouragement
of using food in order to meet emotional needs. This video
offers an eye-opening look at the influence of advertising
on how we view food and our bodies within society.
