This strong emotional appeal persuades people, those having weight problems, that not all fast foods are limited to burgers and fries. To repeat the emotional appeal, Jared remarked, “This was a major change. I mean, not to make a pun, but I dieted cold turkey.”(Leung) Because he was first person who publicized subway being a healthy fast food restaurant, it presented firsthand evidence. The impression of a man, who battle obesity problems, express a fast food restaurant can also have healthy benefits. Commercials of Subway frequently show Jared’s success story by having him show his old size sixty pants next to him. The commercial, therefore, demonstrate a visual argument of subway’s weight reducing subs compare to other fast foods. In addition to Jared’s testimony, Subway also offers nutritional facts on their napkins. In it states, “Six inch Roast Beef, five grams of fats, twenty milligrams of cholesterol, and 296 calories. The napkin offers the main criteria of nutritional facts consumers would be concern about. Although stating only three facts, it is not full of lengthy jargon. The facts are short, simple, quickly obtainable, and straight to the point. Subway, in conclusion, gives people a positive appeal that fast foods are not just labeled junk food.
It would not be a surprise when an unhealthy meal surfaces in a fast food menu in such big companies like Wendy’s, McDonalds, or Burger King. When considering which reliable source of information about health effects, one should be very wary about the many fallacies within the source. Despite all the misleading jargon, there exist reliable sources like in the case about Jared and Subway. So fast foods, in conclusions, would not be hastily called unhealthy.
