Spent a fair bit of time in front of the TV and have suddenly just realised that most of them are for food/drinks - not even the sort of food/drinks that your body needs, but what I see as "junk" (McDonalds, Dairylea dunkers, Aero).
It just made me think - no wonder we live in an overweight nation when the box is telling us that this is the stuff we should be buying! I think I need to try and keep this in mind when watching tv - I can see it trying to make me subconsciously want the food they're advertising and crave stuff that I wouldn't otherwise want in the slightest!
Am glad I've had this realisation, think it will help me to be more aware of how my mind can be programmed by others - and not just TV, also other people, magazines, shop promotions etc.
WE NEED TO BE AWARE THAT SOMETIMES WHEN WE THINK WE'RE THINKING FOR OURSELVES, ACTUALLY WE COULD BE BEING PROGRAMMED TO THINK HOW COMPANIES WANT US TO!
