It is also shown that eating local food is very beneficial to your community and your health.

I think after researching and discussing how commercials, product placement, and display cases I have established a better idea about how important advertisement is for our food industry. Even the progression of food advertisement has changed dramatically over time and it is still progressing more and more. An example is a lot of advertisement used to be of still life portraits then it went in to film photography and then quickly transitioned into high tech and definition commercials and photography.
