Are they fooling us?

A lot of fast food chains have their posters endorsing their products in which that their products look great, but when you order their product, you can see the difference between the those on the posters and in the reality. Example, the spagetti displayed in the poster looks enough for a person to get full while in reality, the spagettie is lesser. Same as to the burgers, the taco sandwich, and a lot more. I think these are marketing strategies of these companies but they are fooling us in a way. How about you? What do you think about this concern?

There are professional photographers who specialize in photographing food; they know how to make it look very appealing. The food is arranged to be beautiful when it is photographed, every detail is made perfect, and the photos are retouched to make them look even more appealing. The dish you buy in the restaurant, however, is put together in a hurry, probably by some low=paid teenage worker.

I see.. so in fairness to those companies, those workers contribute, I guess a lot on the appearance of the products that we are ordering. You got a point there.

I see. It's my concern if what they are doing should be corrected or should we just let it that way. Anyway, you are correct that a lot of their products makes us fat (easily). Eating on them less often would solve my concern then. =)

yes, it is truth, you will never get something like the products that they put in them posters, when you got a pizza the picture on the box looks really great but when you open the box you find a product good but now like the picture, it is very disappointed, I think they should put real pictures on posters, boxes, and In all, but I think they are fooling us, with the fake pictures, I don't know if there is some law about but it, but I think should exist some law about it marketing strategies.
