HELP! The Advertisements have eaten my brain!!!

This is what American Mentality has come down to today. It does not matter what type of product you have, as long as you believe the advertising then all they have to do is provide you with the means of obtaining this. Everyone knows(or should know) that what restaurants like McDonald's do is hire a professional chef to cook the food then then add about 3 pounds of chemicals to it to make it look good then photograph it. But what you must realize is that just like the burger in this picture most advertisements are false and lead up to an utter disappointment. If you have been in a restaurant like this then you see that most of the fast food places hold their food in a heated storage compartment for hours at a time. I have a friend that has worked at McDonalds before and she told me that the burgers there are actually engineered to stay "edible"(which we all know is barely anyways) for up to 18 hours at a time. So much for a fresh McDonalds burger huh? What you see in advertisements are designed to trick you, to literally suck every dime they can out of you. I mean look at the Coke-Cola product Dasani, the commercials are to lead you to believe that the water is pure and the most refreshing thing you have ever had(besides Sierra Mist of course) but in reality that water that they use comes from a privatized water sources out of third world countries. The average bottle of water costs what? $1-$1.50? Corporations such as this lead us to believe that the water only costs us pocket change. But what about the people in those countries? Those people work for a whopping 35cents an hour. Which means that they work 3 hours a day just to afford the water to live, that IS NOT including food, that IS assuming that their family's kids are old enough to work. If the kids are not old enough to work then they either die or get malnourished from the lack of food. So my challenge to the world is that before you go out and buy those objects that you don't really need but that the media has told you that you need ask yourself, is it really worth it? Is your unnecessary bottle of water worth the lives of these kids and families? Is that extra big mac going to make you feel wholesome while you know that hundreds of thousands of people around the world are starving? A little last fact for the day: Did you know that the US is one of the very few countries in the world in which people die of overeating while people around the world die of starving. Just think about that while you go eat until you are "full".
