So could mass awareness be better created with TRUTHFUL advertising that tells the real story behind the product?

If you think about packets of cigarettes.( just an example) Every packet has a health warning printed on it. Sometimes these are very graphical and aimed to shock. People were given a choice still. And millions cut down or quit smoking.

If you think about eggs in supermarkets now. Printed on the cheap range eggs is “From caged hens”. People have been given the details of the egg origins and left with a clear choice. I have no figures available for the drop in sales of these eggs. I hope billions stopped buying them.

NOW…. let’s assume that the advertising standards enforced true descriptive sources/origins and the making of clothing and other consumables.

Would we buy a tee shirt if the label CLEARLY stated that it was made in sweat shop labour and harmful chemicals have been used to grow the cotton for the fabric?

Would we buy a diamond ring from a jewellers who had a CLEAR label “PEOPLE ARE DYING when our diamonds are sourced”?

I get very annoyed at all the false advertising on TV. I would say that almost every single advert should have some kind of health, harm and hurt warning displayed. And for the display/warning to be in HUGE letters and not tucked away in tiny small print that nobody can see.
