Fast food or Bastard food?
Figure 1: . In 2010 A cartoon by Piraro about how fast food effect pigeons which representing the people who addicted on fast food. In the 21 century, people are suffering from all kinds of diseases and over 85% of them are caused by, an unhealthy, diet. In the United States, 25% of Americans eat fast food every day, which can cause heart disease, hypertension and diabetes, starting with overweight. McDonalds, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Burger King are very popular, fast food restaurant selling their burgers and fries in the airport, street shop, next to Wal-Mart and college.
The cartoon on the right was posted by cartoon artist Piraro on August 10, 2010. The cartoonist's opinion is ironic because pigeons will get fat by eating fast food just like people. By depicting McDonalds, fries and the pigeon's lazy eyes are related and pointed out the author's feeling about the combination of fat and bad health because of fast food. In the cartoon, the pigeon represent the people who are fat, lazy and don't want to move at all, but keep eating fries. The big M behind the pigeon stands for the popular fast food brand McDonalds. The sky is a mixture of white and grey, except for the yellow from the M. Anything else is less vibrant, less vivid and dispirited. The rhetorical appeals in Figure 1 include logos and ethos. The pigeon keep eating fries and other fast food that make him fat, which is logos. Also, the pigeon stays in front of the fast food place which is well known for selling high calorie food which is a ironic use of ethos. There is a normal pigeon in the image who is actually warning the fat one, so the audience for this cartoon might be the people who don't know or care the side effects of fast food; who choose to eat fast food very often and more than homemade meals and who actually like eating fast food.
