The Commercialization of Iman
February 29, 2008
Every weekend we take Iman out to eat, and let her choose where she wants to go. Her choices range from picnics in the park, to pancakes, and then sometimes, junk food. Although I’m not fanatic about healthy eating, I do make sure my children are getting a balanced diet. So occasionally, when she asks for fried chicken or a burger, I let get indulge.
Today we were at the mall. After running some errands we landed at the food court. I gave Iman the liberty to choose dinner. So she looked around, kind of weighing out her options. Then she said… I’ll have KFC. Ummm… no wait, McDonalds”.
When I asked her why, she replied… “They have a new Hello Kitty toy.”
Welcome to the world of comercialization. It’s no longer about the food, but instead all about the selling gimics.
