I hate them!!


Health adverts to help you loose weight. Lately the Kellogg's one has ever so slightly been getting on my wick.
In this century everyone is obsessed with how they look, growing old, and weight loss.
This is crazy!
Unless your at a fatally heavy weight, then yes perhaps you should listen to these constant adverts.
But my theory is, that these people that sit in front of the television and eat, do this because of the adverts. That they look at these skinny beautiful women, who barely need to loose any weight at all, and become so depressed about how they look, their only comfort is food. This could all simply be cured by there not being ANY weight adverts, or maybe more subtle in how they make the public feel.
I wish I could say that with the weight adverts, and beauty adverts, fashion and make up, does not effect me at all. However this a lie. I am developing in how I feel about myself, and how I look. I try with effort to get up in the mornings, look at my self in the mirror, and like myself. This is probably what many teenagers go through, trying to like themselves inside and out. So these so called, advertisers, do not care or ,perhaps even realise that their market, makes people my age and even older, without them even knowing it, loose part of their self esteem.
When I have children, (even though I know this impossible) I would like to keep them away from the influence of adverts.To let them become themselves, and not ever once doubt their importance to the world because of how they act or look.
To realise that they are beautiful, in their own way, and they do not once have to look like the people in television because their friends, think that this is how outside world works.
That the unsuccessful must follow the trends and traits of the successful.
This is wrong.
But I know deep down that now a days the way we should be, is so entwined in our day to day lives thanks to the television, or posters, that we don't even realise it.

Last of all I would like to point out that Kellogg's is a CEREAL!!! No one in their right mind would eat constantly cereal for every meal every day. Surely that would make you starving? Crazy!
