Irresistible Sweets

This picture is taken at a local Safeway close by to my home. As I was walking past the bakery section in the Safeway store, I came across the word irresistible and in my mind, I knew it was just another signal to catch the customers' attention. Below the irresistible word was a wide variety of the sweets that draw the attention of many. No action is occurring in this photograph, aside from the customers that pass by the sweets stands to grab a box or two to buy and take home. This picture was taken in the perspective of the customers where piles of irresistible goods are located, drawing the customer's attention. Many may not realize these sweets are potential signs of malnutrition that surround us all the time, however many neglect to realize these indications. The rate of obesity is increasing every year, and grocery stores like Safeway want to attract the customers by satisfying their needs, SWEETS; In order to increase their yearly sales. The pile of sweets with the color sale tags catch the customer's attention to just take a few boxes to put in their cart to bring home or snack on their way home. This image can educate others about the various signs of malnutrition portrayed in many different ways but many tend to not realize it. I was just a regular customer and it is hard to deny that this was not tempting, it was right in front of the words irresistible! In order to address this issue, we must create awareness to RESIST the malnourishment these food causes in people today.
