Subliminal Persuasion

If subliminal persuasion were indeed a real and effective technique, then it would not be difficult to incorporate this at all into the subject of obesity. The easiest way to subliminally convince someone to fight obesity is by making them feel unhappy with their bodies as they are. Showing thin, fit people working out and eating right and thus having fun would possibly convince people to change their habits to better meet these ends. If television and advertisements show that thin people are happier then overweight people, then the overweight people may wish to become happier and thus make an attempt at losing weight. Another way to subliminally persuade people to fight obesity would be to promote healthier foods in advertisements because, let's face it, fast food restaurants are not doing anyone any health favors. My suggestions of who to do this persuasion would be someone like Scarlet Johanson or Ryan Reynolds, people that the general public know as someone famous and consider rather attractive. A complex subliminal message such as "eat healthier to feel better" would probably not work, but a negative subliminal message, such as a knife or a hidden skull and crossbones in a fast food advertisement may create subliminal feelings away from that fast food restaurant.

This response uses attractive people to condition people into thinking that healthy people are attractive and the opposite is true for overweight people. It also uses subliminal messages to make people think that fast food is bad for them and healthier food will make them more attractive.
