The menace of consumerism or the fundu Marketing guys??

Well I am gonna crib in this post. No, I will herald a new thinking of healthy living..Blah..lets just say whatever it is and get over any projected sense of over importance in this world and my role as visionary to make it the best place it can be and exercise high intellect to transform the way it functions, which sadly still needs to see some light of the day. Anyway

Since childhood we have seen ads of Suffola and n such healthy cooking oils- you see how deeply it is mingling with our food and hence our health and our existence. A young and very smart guy is on the verge of heart-attack or is cholesterol ridden and could not play with kids as he is always busy. Later they added a nice tint of depicting nasty kids- who yell that "you never play with us, then why at all you exist" or something of the sort. When I used to see anyone cooking in oil like sarson ka oil- I used to shun that internally so harshly that they are playing with the health of people and ensured I don't touch a bit of it. Well seems like I am a victim of what I was avoiding for like forever. The most unhealthiest cooking oil - is what marketed to be otherwise.  Will provide the reference soon.


Okay lets go to beauty, why, what else comes to your mind on mention of consumerism and beauty products. It is amazing that marketing guys could cut right through the bias of society and sell the shitty products to both vain men and women(maybe all women- vain or not) as lets accept it-taking care of your one and only body is like a sacred thing, right? Wrong!! Though however easy it might be to wake up and dab your skin with cleansers and put on layers of moisteners and skin whitening creams and shinning products -- seems like they make your skin addicted and in long run prone to 1000s of bad effects - and ofcourse burn a huge whole in your pocket every month and then treatment of  aftereffects is also to be managed, its almost like a web. Well we have believed the beautiful fairy ladies of tv ads telling us what to purchase and why and 1 entire shelf is filled with 3 different types of oils, 3 different face-wash, moisturizer and creams, as per occasion things- of which most just get wasted away as on occasions we are (atleast I am) just too lazy to try them on. Now I don't see any future use of them, than to throw them away asap. Refer - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1041224/Dying-beautiful-Are-beauty-products-killing-you.html.

I believe the marketing guys can sell you anything, just by bringing together - very smart family, dog, car, green lawn and kids- some interplay and dialogues between them and here -the product is unopposed king of the world. Be it useless junk products like coco-cola, chips, fast-foods or be it things you will never need but has to be purchased to be in the league. Amazing guys you know which chord rings a bell with people. You can paint the future they aspire, for them, and then they will regret if they cannot get that. Amazing isn't it.. :) Well you have to earn, don't you. So yeah, it might be in long time, but you can shape  the thinking of people.
