Discussion 3

Identify an advertisement (commercial, radio ad, billboard, etc.) with a health related focus (product, service, food, etc). Describe or link to it in the post. Then, using this week’s content address the following points:

• discuss the techniques the company used to target (who are they targeting and how did you identify that) and persuade (any psychological persuasion techniques, and which?).  
• What are your thoughts on their chosen method? 
• Anything misleading in the ads? 
• Should there be more regulation among how health-related companies advertise their products or services? Why?
