In our opinion, nutrient density (macro and micronutrients), appropriate portions (avoid caloric super surpluses), and balance\/moderation are key to a healthy diet. \u00a0\u201cGood\u201d food is nutrient dense and provides all of the necessary nutrients.\u00a0 Additionally, \u201cgood\u201d food is in an appropriate amount. Any food in too much excess can be considered \u201cbad.\u201d Bad foods can also be classified by too much processing, additives and synthesized production, such as added hormones or trans fats.<\/p>\n
Most of our advertisements were addressing obesity or trying to draw attention to the healthier aspect of the meal, rather than the processed or synthesized components. For example, Abby found a Cheerio\u2019s advertisement that draws attention to the \u201clow cholesterol,\u201d to distract from the added sugars.\u00a0 One of Carime\u2019s ads addressed dairy and encouraged people to eat more plant-based, which could be a result of targeting or obesity or as promoting veganism.\u00a0 Gemi found advertisements that showed how different countries portray healthy foods in their advertisements.\u00a0 For example, in America advertisements use family and relationships as an incentive to eat healthy and reduce obesity.\u00a0 In China, advertisements would show the diseases and deaths that result from obesity and show products that are necessary to avoid obesity and death.\u00a0 In Japan, they advertise products by showing how they are better than “junk” foods that may increase obesity.\u00a0 They imply that their products make it easy to avoid obesity.
