JUMBO HAMBURGERS AND OTHER OVERSIZED FOODSTUFFS

There ought to be a law! Have you noticed that just when you and your significant other get settled in front of the TV for an evenings viewing, (That is from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM) they start with the fast food advertisements? No one without a supercharged metabolism should have to view these advertisements. The close-ups of hamburgers, chicken wings, fruit pies, and other foods are designed and do succeed in making us both hungry. Never mind we just finished a full dinner. Never mind we are both way overweight. Never mind that neither of us is going to leave our cozy home to buy the proffered foodstuffs. We, having seen a 35-inch wide hamburger are hungry. And of course, we end up eating something. Not the hamburger, but whatever is fast in our own kitchen. Chips, cookies, ice cream, leftovers, even nuts soon pass our lips to become our newest layer of fat. It should be against the law to advertise food on TV after 8:00 PM. Toothpaste commercials, cloths washing detergent, under arm deodorant, even a vacation at Disney World ad is welcome, just stop with the food ads after 8:00 PM. Well that’s all I have to say about the matter.
