Another form of propaganda we don't acknowledge: advertising.

@Woodchaz @StillIRise1963
When I was at school in the 60's I remember a schoolmate saying every advert was an advert for capitism. I thought at the time yeh, that's pretty much right... And still do.

@davejackson @StillIRise1963
Sometimes I wonder how much of what I think I know came from advertising.

@Woodchaz @davejackson @StillIRise1963

I'm not sure what the answer is, though I'll bet you could get an answer from nine out of ten dentists.

Do you think it’s important to eat a good breakfast? That breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

That piece of common wisdom was literally the invention of the breakfast food industry: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2

People need to eat. Different people find that eating at different times of day works best for them. There’s nothing special about breakfast whatsoever. Complete fabrication.
