Eat This! How Fast-food Marketing Gets You to Buy Junk (and How to Fight Back)

This Canadian resource aims to help students understand and question the marketing of fast food by providing them with strategies to critically examine how food companies market their products to children and to combat the impact of that marketing on children’s food choices, health, and the environment. Suitable for independent student reading, a class read-aloud, or teacher reference, this resource can support inquiry projects, help develop student media literacy skills, provide opportunities for student activism, develop understanding of the environmental consequences of fast food production, and launch discussion and creative projects.
