Lobbying Post #5

For this project, Alex and I have been working with food transparency labels. It's annoying when foods change there names to make them sound more appealing, or healthy. We first started with Corn Syrup being changed to Corn Sugar. After doing more research, we discovered that it wasn't just Corn Syrup that's name was being changed, but other foods. We want people to be aware that changing the names of foods does not make it any less fattening or unhealthy. Alex and I are going to design an AD that will inform people of this problem. Not many people pay attention to food labels, but they probably should.

I emailed a representative for this issue to get him involved, but I never received a reply. I didn't expect to, but it was pretty discouraging. Our next step is going to be actually making the AD and post it around the school and maybe even around the city. This will hopefully make people more aware of the issue, which will be doing our job.
