While the KFC was meant to suggest AG Barr was "chicken", it was definitely poorly executed. That said, Trump has bragged many times about his unhealthy eating habits. Even before he starting campaigning for POTUS. But, I agree that these are more trivial and not nearly as worthy of focus as other aspects of his leadership and job performance. |
Well everyone see's things differently, and everyone is going to have trouble seeing things based on the other side due to bias, no matter how minor. In this case for example, based on what you've described, I can't say that's Trump bragging. Saying fast food tastes better and those restaurants are cleaner has little to do with how healthy the food is for you. If a woman is said to be more attractive and sexier but is a hardcore gold digger should you marry her?
Now indirectly, he's potentially sending people down an unhealthy path, but to say that's his goal and is doing so purposely is really reaching. To assume he does understand this is a potential consequence, but also assumes people are dumb or lazy enough not to balance it by eating healthy sometimes or exercising, etc, doesn't make much sense unless you think he has some agenda to specifically poison peoples bodily health. Does the senator know and want this? Probably not.
As for the commercials, people have been programmed to think just because a star, authority, or leader, is in a commercial, they approve of the product in the ad. This is not the case. It can be, but it's just as possible, if not more likely, they simply want the money or publicity, and don't care about the product at all. Did Kap really care about Nike or does he care about the money and publicity for his cause? What about Ford and her bottle of Coke?
Yes, the President's health matters to a degree because you don't want them to keel over due to their eating habits, but as long as they are being medically examined and are healthy enough to do their job, who really cares? As long as they themselves, aren't constantly throwing that in people's faces, it's not something people should worry about. If for example, they're worried about their kids being influenced, then be a parent and teach them. If they don't listen or learn, that's not really someone else's fault. Majority the parents fault, partially the kids fault and minutely the stars fault.
