Vote on the Commercial with the Worst Health Message
Americans are seeing more and more commercials pushing less-than-healthful food. PCRM nutrition experts have compiled a list of 10 commercials that send especially poor messages about health and nutrition. Now’s your chance to vote for which one is the worst.
Some of the advertisements come from recognizable fast-food names such as Burger King and McDonald's. Others are for some perhaps unexpected products, including Hummer and Fiber Choice. Some ads promote obviously unhealthy foods, while others mislead consumers to think that the foods they are presenting are good for them. Some of the commercials are not for food products at all but still provide misleading information about the value of good nutrition.
