HERE'S THE BEEF
Did you know that the food industry spends BILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year to make its food look so good? Hey, we all know beauty sells, but did you know this comes to food appearance, too? Food "stylists," cameramen, photographers and professional actors are hired to create a look and feel that sells a particular brand, dish, food or restaurant chain.And know what? Most of the time when you buy one of these foods, it just doesn't measure up to the ad. Why? Sure, those advertising tricks succeed in luring you in, but the reality is another, disappointing story. Simply put, the food in the ad is NOT the food you get in the store or restaurant. This is the REAL FOOD DEAL!
A FOOD STYLIST'S TRICKS OF THE TRADE REVEALED
Here's the inside scoop on how some of those "gorgeous" foods look before the camera. Food stylists often spend hours to make it look just right -- it's kind of like glamour TV makeup for food. Forget the cast of The O.C. or One Tree Hill, we're taking flawless strawberry milkshakes and beautiful breakfast cereals! Pout for the camera, dahling! What Goes in a Phony Strawberry Milkshake Here's what a food stylist would use (particularly notice the last four ingredients -- yuck!):

 What Goes in a Bogus Bowl of Cereal Here's what a food stylist would use (get a load of the last two ingredients -- shortening and glue!):

Hey, we've all been tempted by advertising at some time or another to try something new, better and improved, or rush out and buy something because it will make us feel better -- even if it's just a double cheeseburger with bacon for only $1.99, a limited-time offer!
But think about what these food stylists are up to now that you've had a peak inside their world, and ask yourself, Am I being misled here? Will that burger be as amazing as it appears? Are the food companies trying to trick me again with phony images to buy their food?
It's your decision -- you clearly think for yourself and are not one to follow the herd as these advertisers count on. You're on the Health Trek, and now know the awful truth behind those strawberry shakes and breakfast cereals; you know the Real Food Deal!
