I made this article to talk about the modern marketing and how it's related to overweight and obesity there are many consequences of modern marketing of food products, look at the consequences of modern marketing of food products and the misleading information it holds within. Since America has become a world super-power and the gravitational center of the world as well as the center point of the whole global economy, the
rest the world was trying to live the American Dream as it was presented to us on T.V. and other marketing channels. It all trails back to the huge corn fields that America has. “Corn production (also maize production) plays a major role in the economy of the United States. The country is one of the worldwide corn leaders with 96,000,000 acres (39,000,000 ha) of land reserved for corn production. Corn growth is dominated by west/north central Iowa and east central Illinois. The US is ranked first in the world in corn production, and 20% of its annual yield is exported.”1
And it all comes down to this, ultimately. America had to find a why a monetize the enormous amounts of corn that it has, which was of course the false information about food benefits using modern techniques. With the growing rate of overweight and obesity, people were trying to find a way to lose the extra few pounds, and this is where the bug corporations and marketing men found their niche. The big corporations misinformed all these people with the LOW-FAT/NO-FAT products marketing craze, which promised to help them to lose weight but instead increased the rate of overweight people and obesity because this information is fundamentally wrong. The general convention was that FAT – makes you FAT, which is wrong fat does not make you fat, it is actually the excess amounts of carbohydrates (which all these LOW-FAT products are full of) that make you fat, but people didn’t know that so they jumped the wagon of LOW-FAT products that lead to this level of overweight people even further.
Now this is a serious problem, because overweight is not a simple issue for it has many health risks.
