Food marketing technology works against our waistline. Their goal is to make you choose a product of their brand, among the rest of the variety. This is not good for our health and spoils the figure.
Here are some marketing tricks:
- Bright packaging and "Choose me" slogans.
A person perceives large amounts of information throughout the day, using the Internet and television as well. Therefore, issues of minimal importance, such as the choice of cookies, are automatically resolved. "Take me"? - Well. One less choice.
- The misconception that a chocolate bar can satisfy your hunger.
On the contrary, it will cause a sharp increase in blood sugar levels, our body will begin to distill it into fat, which naturally lowers sugar. But, it will only increase the appetite.
- "Everyone loves it, and Seryozha too"
How often do you buy groceries because of “Because everyone takes them”? This principle works on a false statement, rest assured EVERYONE does not do that.
- Selling emotions, not food.
Advertising is lying to you. If you buy an extra pack of cookies, or a bottle of soda, everything will remain the same. Fun companies, happy families, a pleasant atmosphere at work - it depends on you, and not on extra calories with a bright slogan.
What products should I buy?
- Only those that you need. Make a shopping list before going to the store. This will help you stick to your desires, not the desires of the salespeople.
- Determine the range of your taste preferences, developing selectivity in the choice of products.
- Take on a new role when shopping for groceries: be a culinary critic, esthete and foodie, even a snob. Your stomach will thank you for this.
