Chick-Fil-A Using Subliminal Messages

We have all wondered where, and how the poultry that is in our grocery stores had gotten there at some point in time, whether if we eat meat or not. When we find out, we are not too ecstatic with the results. It is unbelievable what they do just in order to get profit from the many variations of chicken the companies produce. They treat the birds as if they are not a living, breathing animal sitting right in front of them. They have no sympathy, for this wonderful creation, and all that it has to offer us. The companies only care about the money, and will do anything to get it. Big chicken industries such as Tyson and Perdue, force farmers to raise their chickens in certain ways, and by doing this, the chickens are raised in unhealthy conditions, which puts consumers’ health at risk.

The mission of the company is to provide customers with high-quality food products and services. Although the company has a clean slate to the public eye; research studies show them having a darker side. The first secret of the company is the injection of hormones, steroids, and other drugs in the chicken. A chicken takes six to twelve weeks to grow; however, manufacturers don’t have time, so the operators inject hormones to shorten the actual growth by half.

In the article, “Another Year of the Chicken: U.S. Beef Supply Will Fall Again in 2015” (2014) the author, Vanessa Wong, analyzes how the the price of beef and been increasing resulting in more of a demand in chicken. Wong goes on to state that the increase in beef resulted from an extreme drought in 2012 “caused feed prices to spike and, in response, farmers thinned their herds” (Wong, 2012). More of a demand in chicken has also been noticed in restaurants. The price of chicken increased five percent as opposed to the nine percent increase in beef at Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants. However, by the year 2016 Tyson Foods has projected that the cattle supplies will be down to has little as one percent. In truth, the price of beef will decrease.

A large percent of Chick fil-a is located in malls with a gross sales revenue of between 4.4 Million- 5.35 million

When given some context about the poster, namely it’s location in an affluent part of D.C. in the early 2000’s, I was able to understand this poster a little better. The main audience, well-off people who eat meat, may not have been the best audience to approach. The poster’s purpose, to turn carnivorous Americans from their

• Corn is cheap (and also helps make the chickens fat quickly) allows low meat prices – over 200lbs of meat per person per year would not be possible without this diet of cheap grain

Shouldn’t the blame be put on the advertisement being made by food industries? The main and soul purpose of the advertisements is to catch the attention of people, or is it not? The main thing people look at in these advertisements is the deals given and that’s what really pulls people in. In the film its points out and shows and advertisement for a chicken dinner deal for the family to eat. Now this would mostly pertain to a family and would appeal to them and pull them into the trap without them even thinking about. How is a person supposed to stay away from food that is bad for them when its right in front of their face on television and all around them when they go to the supermarket or even when driving? The food industry also uses small tricks like saying there are less calories in a food, such as Oreos. Oreos are Oreos, no matter how many calories in them they are not healthy. Dr. David Ludwig, the Associate Professor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, says, “you can eat a bowl of corn flakes with no added sugar or you could eat a bowl of sugar with no added corn flakes. Might taste different, but metabolically the same thing.” So, no matter what you eat whether its less in calories or not it’s all the same when you digest it. According to Katie Couric, “this is the first generation of American children expected to live shorter lives than their

The demand for beef was caused by the expeditious growth of fast food restaurants in a short amount of time. Over the past several decades of the industrialization of food, most Americans have resorted to eating mainly processed foods, including beef and products that are derived from cows’ milk. These products were made to become appealing through countless advertisements, many of which exaggerated their health benefits and tried to bring a shot of sex appeal to their

Everyone has the right to know what's in the food that they are eating. It's upsetting how these massive corporations dominate American citizens. If everyone knew how much brutality was required to meet the demands of the fast food industry, I like to think the public would simply not tolerate it and demand that animals stop being designated property in law. I find it impossible to believe that if people knew the reality that they would not want animals to have recourse to legal protections from enduring lifetimes of nothing but abuse.

The marketing revolves around habits. If we form the habits of just relying on them for food we will not go back thus more profit for them. It makes me think of an evil villain who’s bent on destroying the human race or at least making us all fat and lazy because that’s what’s happening. We’re becoming lazy which means our children will be lazy and the ability to cook will vanish and it will all go downhill from there. In Pollen’s article, he asked Harry Balzer what we can one do to fix this problem and he said “Easy. You want Americans to eat less? I have the diet for you. It’s short, and it’s simple. Here’s my diet plan: Cook it yourself. That’s it. Eat anything you want — just as long as you’re willing to cook it yourself” (584).

In a 2012 gallup poll, only 5% of the U.S. is vegetarian and 2% is vegan(Newport). As animal products continue to be consumed, chickens, have enlarged in size over the last couple of decades. An article written on The Washington Post by Roberto A Ferdman said that Americans are eating less red meat, but more white meat. He states,”the obsession with chicken—which has lasted more than 30 years already—shows no sign of stopping”.(Ferdman Para 1). Chickens are being modified to have more mass, more meat, and be bigger in size.

Advertisements are everywhere these days and can be extremely annoying. They will try and get people to buy anything from food to cars and everything else in between. Advertisements have also started to rely heavily on the sexual elements to sell its products. An example of this advertisement would be the ad for Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s. In this ad, it features Paris Hilton standing in a very seductive way holding a cheeseburger. She takes up half of the ad while the other half is of the actual product with some text. Carl’s Jr. started these racy ads back in 2005 and are known to feature models in bikinis in their advertisements to try and attract younger men. This advertisement heavily relies on sexual appeal to sell its products by using a very sexy and provocative Paris Hilton and using double entendre in its text.

Unlike other fast food restaurants, Chick Fil A cares about their customers and treats them as guests. Every time I go, the staff members are always courteous and helpful, from the greeting area where you walk in, to the employees who walk through the dining area asking to get you a refill, and making sure your meal is prepared accurately. Last week my mom and I ate there for lunch, and she ordered the chicken noodle soup with a side salad. Her soup was just barely warm and she

They inject all of those chemicals to make the chicken bigger but that’s hurting us and all the little kids out there for their future. It may cause heart diseases and at a point when we have to take so many pills to get better. On Netflix there’s a documentary that came out this year called ‘What the Health’. He also talks about meat causes cancer. He interviewed three people who were sick with cancer and they all went to many doctors to get better but they just receive pills to take and hope for their best. The guy in the video tells them to stop taking the pills, stop eating process meat, try to exercise and he’ll come back in two weeks to see how they are. When that day came those three people he interviewed looked so much healthier and had so much energy. Not eating meat may cause a different in us and a longer life because we are hurting animals by killing them but really they are killing us.

Fast food corporations are responsible for the obesity epidemic due to their false health claims, along with the excessive marketing to children. Some people believe that customer demand is responsible for the obesity epidemic coming from the gradual increase of food portions. Critics of fast food corporations rebut that the expansion of fast food causes other problems besides obesity. Fast food corporations are responsible for the obesity epidemic due to heavy advertising directed at children, along with dubious health claims that certain fast food items are healthy. In Australia, the fast food industry is under attack by their government because fast food advertisements are heavily marketed to children, a population segment vulnerable to obesity (Tillett 1). Another example comes from a dubious claim by Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) stating that eating two fried chicken breasts is healthier than eating a
