    There are numerous top brands we are fond of.. McD, KFC,Subway...and the list goes on. But have you ever noticed why are we so much addicted to them? I have researched about it..and found some realy shocking results. Also what these companies do in advertising , to get in depth of our minds. Should i share these researches..or keep it to myself. I am in doubt. Will people like this type of thing? Please comment..

    Thanks for your viewpoints developers(love you for that <3), and some people those who are not looking happy is due to the fact i wanted an answer(yes or no) from them , and they wanted debates for any random thing they see somebody saying in the discussion. I wasn't able to clear that, as i am middle of an idea myself(in doubt as i said initialy). Still i enjoyed talking to you people(surely some of you haven't) and gained something from it...thanks a ton.. :)

      You happen to say there are 69 of us on here who aren't addicted to bacon. We need their addresses. Lynch mobs on the way...

          Around here many people still have a garden and grow their own food, just as there are markets where you can still get fresh stuff. Anyway, I learned from our old cat that you don't try to escape from food. At best, it tries to escape from me. If it can.

            The 3 companies you mention are not among my favorites. On the other hand I am not one of those people that use any chance to dump on them. I will eat from them, but none of them are my first choice for burgers, chicken and sandwiches. I don't know what kind of research you have done and what you have found, but there are a lot of people out there preaching their side of stories like that and I doubt I will be a regular reader of your blog. Still, that does not mean you should not do your blog. I am sure other people will read it. Soren Madsen

              Thanks for your comments mr madsen, I think buying a product is now something that we do nearly everyday. Not only for food, but everything that we pay for. The goal of my blog would be to make that(buying) thing efficient and with awareness. So that no-one is fooled(after my research i found, i was being fooled by them) by the brands.. I think that is done by lesser or no blogs.

                  I hope you will not take offense if I tell you, bluntly, my answer is: not interested. I already know there are an infinity of ways that everyone and everything, in every moment, are trying to make this aging meat-package I am incarnate in cease its biological existence qua organism. Unfortunately (for my relative "peace of mind"), I already discovered that Time is the secret ring-leader of this cosmic plot, although I try hard to pretend I don't know that, as a precaution. I am interested in topics like: what really happened with Billy Pilgrim and Montana Wildhack on Tralfamador [^]. yours, Bill

                  “Beginning, middle, and end of birth, growth, and perfection we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action, reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, order.”


                  Giordano Bruno, cosmologist, philosopher, burned at the stake for heresy on February 17, 1600. When condemned, he said to his Inquisitors: “Perhaps you pronounce this verdict against me with greater fear than I receive it.”

                          First of all thanks...that you shared your views. But in that case we are thinking like a drug addict, the drug provides "peace of mind" to the consumer, but that doesn't means that he should continue consuming it believing that he doesn't know about its evil effects. Similarly, the brands are making us addicted to their food. In short, i just wan't to broadcast that brands hide..by their false advertising. Is that such a bad idea..doing that!!

                              That's great you are subscribed for it, it follows my theme of blogging, but still i am aiming for much different goals. My question is to vote yes or no...if you are told about consumerism. Just you wan't to be aware..or leave it to what it is..

                                      Every time I try and justify to myself that I need an iPad I can never find a reason to get one, other than the advertising and number of people who say they are great but cannot provide me with any reason that would justify me owning one...

                                      Exactly, apple has set some standards of people who are using it. Standards in monitory and technological terms. The person having mac os pretends to be an intellect over people using windows. And girls with iphone5 have kept it for showing off(personal experience :)).In both the cases they are 20,000 miles away from its actual benificial technology provided by apple. And people(not all of us) wonder why the companies are spending a big part of their profit advertising. And i bet people reading my blog.. will have that reason mr christopher... :) of what they have. So should i come up something is that..please answer..
