Propaganda U.S. Food Production [free write]



To me, propaganda is like advertising, but negative advertising. For example McDonald's can have an advertisement showing how McDonald's makes children cheerful with Happy Meals, and reeling them in by including a toy--propaganda would be negative and even sarcastic perhaps showing a fat little baby or child eating McDonald's, low key showing the affects of the fast food on a person. Even though these ads go out, it doesn't completely stop the food production but may slow it down and cause people to stop eating it. Also think about any food at the supermarket like meat, & then ads/propaganda against this food saying perhaps terrible things the company does like how the animals are killed or butchered or how they are cruel to the animals or something-this negativity can cause people to stay away from or boycott that food for just that specific brand...OR there is a brand of food or a company/restaurant makes "chicken" and it comes out that it is NOT real chicken! People will not buy it, and if people are not buying, then it will not be produced...Sucks for producers.
