Food Tricks You Should Know About! on pages 82 to 84 of Literacy in Action 5A explains how food stylists create the pictures to promote a product.
As you read the article, try to imagine the methods the food stylists used to create the look they want.
Read the selection.
Food stylists try to make you think that eating their product is a good thing, no matter what it is or what it tastes like by making it look delicious.
They try to persuade you by using your emotions to help influence you. For example, food ads usually show a family gathering of some sort. Advertisers hope this will remind you of happy times and then when you need to buy the product you will choose theirs because of the happy times you associate with it.
