Use of Women in Promoting Food Products
The beauty and allure of the female form has been celebrated - even revered - for ages upon ages. Human obsession with the female form allows women's bodies to be easily exploited. The food industry is not immune to this manner of advertising and product promotion.

"Food in advertising rarely makes an appearance as simple nourishment. Instead it acts as a substitute for love or romance, a reward (for "good" behavior), a guilty secret/pleasure, an erotic encounter, a consolation prize, a source of and cure for anxiety. Advertising that links food to so many other needs and desires (while simultaneously promoting the thin-ideal body image), can encourage eating disorders, especially in relation to empty-calorie, high sugar and high fat content foods like chocolate. (J. Retzinger Ph.D, Dept. of Mass Communications, UC Berkeley, 2004.)

"This first image is promoting a new burger for Burger King. We see a pretty blonde woman, wearing makeup, with her mouth wide open, anticipating the "BK Super Seven Incher". She is objectified because she has no body parts except for a neck and a head. Nothing else matters here except her mouth and her eyes which are accentuated by the bright red lipstick and the emphasized eye makeup. The woman's face is also much brighter than the burger itself, almost hiding the burger, leaving the viewer to his/her imagination. Knowing how many males think, this burger ad would be both arousing and intimidating (seven inches haha). The words in this ad were also meticulously added. The words "IT'LL BLOW" are in a larger font than "YOUR MIND AWAY." "Blow" is an ambiguous word, where it can be used as "The wind blows in this direction," "This class blows," or "Yeah, she blows well." I mean, with the picture alone. it looks like she's ready to give the burger a blowjob. And it's only $6.25, including fries and a soda!"
