I think there's some (limited) value in simply recognizing that we're being manipulated.

But damn if I don't want some Doritos tonight!

I had a roommate who was completely susceptible to fast food advertising. If he saw the Burger King commercial he needed to have it. It was hilarious!

I notice that I turn into that dude about 1% of the time.

What also doesn’t help is all the food vlogs. I’m inundated with people eating food in reels. Idk wtf was wrong with me today but I got take out and then was still hungry afterwards? I’m usually pretty good about eating well consistently and feeling full.

The food vlogs don't help, it seems like some people's entire online presence involves slurping greasy noodles into their mouth.
