How Healthy Food Advertising Makes Us All Fat

We all know there is an obesity epidemic, but did you know that pushing healthy food actually makes everyone fatter? And it’s easy to see why.

Everybody knows junk food and fast food are bad for us, and all the snazzy ads may make us crave it, but we limit ourselves somewhat because we know it’s actually unhealthy despite its yummiosity. On the other hand, healthy foods are good for us, so when we see ads touting how good for us it is, we shovel it into our mouths and stomachs with reckless abandon, making us gain weight rapidly until we are helplessly obese.

You might think that demonizing unhealthy foods is a good thing, but it has a negative effect in that naughty and rebellious people think it’s extra cool to eat unhealthy food because everyone thinks it’s bad, so they do even more of it to seem tough and contrarian, proving how naughty they are by getting fatter in rebellion against the food police types.

So as you can clearly see, everyone will get even fatter with healthier food advertising. The only solution is to force a glut of junk food ads on people until they get so tired of seeing them they never want to eat junk food ever again in protest against the ads. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s the only way to defeat the scourge of obesity once and for all!
