The "argument" that the photographer is trying to make is clearly that McDonald's is a contributor to childhood obesity. This in a way adds on to logos, because people know not to eat fast food, yet they eat it anyway.
I agree with Abril. The photographer is definetley saying that McDonalds is a contributer to childhood obesity. Pathos and ethos are prevalant in that McDonalds doesn't force anyone to eat their food and as enticing as there ad looks, in the end its up to what the audience wants and believes in.
Its weird how the doctor and the woman with the McDonalds almost look the same.
Its not saying Mcdonalds is the reason for obesity in america but that fastfood in general is one of the major reasons. Mcdonalds is the biggest fastfood chain in the world so it makes sense to use it instead of Wendy's or Burger Street. Saying, "My kinda Shopping spree" makes people know how cheap the food is and how much anyone can order for such a low price.
I believe that children are getting confused with the diffrence in healthy eating and non healthy eating habits. I mean what kind of message is it sending to the childern having a doctor over a mcdonalds sign. Of coarse their gonna go with mcdonalds because that would be the last sign they read giving them a lasting impression on Mikey D's.
Our country's major issue concerning obesity in children is frequently removed from the picture because of the widespread ads and familiarity with fast food restaurants that are contributing factors to this issue. But they are just that contributing factors, McDonald's is not solely responsible for that little 8 year old waddling down the street. He can't even read the informative signs. He instead sees pokemon as McD's toy and wants a burger, then goes straight home to watch tv with his new buddy. McDonald's doesn't make children fat, they just know how to advertise better than health specialists.
The photogrpaher is obvioulsy saying that McDonald's is responsible for childhood obesity today if the two ads are posted in the area of one another. It also shows that well i bet that if children were to look at this ad it would be mommy i want mickey d's and not let's go get a check-up and make sure im healthy even though the sign clearly says don't take it lightly. It says that parents are doing there part if they let the child eat unhealthy food instead of preparing better things and not having a good diet/exercise plan. It is very ironic that these two ads are posted with each other and mcdonalds is not a diet in any way unless your ordering water and if people weren't overweight because they choose to eat McDonalds then its not a DIET!
The point that the photographer is trying to get across is that McDonalds is a contributor to childhood obesity. Using strong pathos, the media flashes McDonalds around everywhere for the young eye to catch; with smiling faces and fun slogans and so children are drawn into the idea and learn to love it. It's almost a love/hurt situation.
The picture creates a humorous and mocking tone towards how fast food and obesity goes together. The patho appeals to the parent's love and concern for their children health conditions. The picture represents an appeal to ethos because it attacks the audience about what is right and what is wrong for American kids. If parents love their kids then they would not ignore that fact but just keep feeding them with fast food that can increase their obesity rate. Its ironic that under an ad about obesity theres an ad about McDonalds. Where they mentioned about not taking obesity "lightly" but there Mcdonalds is not a light food.
