My work informs people of dangers associated with consuming unhealthy foods. I want to illuminate the often hidden dangers and health risks associated with fast and junk foods. At a distance the poster will appear to be advertisements for a particular food brand. A closer look will reveal that the poster is indeed a parody of the brand aimed at exposing the damage it potentially causes.

I desire for people to see how they are being unknowingly victimized and hope to do this through encouragement as opposed to preaching.
