An example of food advertising
Food advertising is one of the most important part of the food industry. With out advertising, businesses wouldn't have as many customers which in return would cause the business to possibly go bankrupt.
It has been estimated that the food industry spends around $36 billion a year on marketing its products. Also, according to the federal government, the food industry is spending almost $2 billion targeting just children.
Money isn't just going from business to advertising, it also goes into the products themselves.
Moving Product:
Moving products has become increasingly popular over time. This means that businesses are putting more money into preservative in the food to give the it longer shelf life so it can travel where ever it needs to go.

What's the price?
Money also plays a big role in the food industry.
This role is the cost of healthcare and other health related treatment
First of all, when someone is obese, they are also more prone to these diseases.
The more diseases the public has, the more money and time doctors/professionals take to deal with them. If the doctors weren't spending their time on patients, they could be researching cures for diseases.
One source known as “Reuters” is reporting that America has racked up $190 billion to the annual national healthcare price on obesity.
“Obese men rack up an additional $1,152 a year in medical spending, especially for hospitalizations and prescription drugs. Obese women account for an extra $3,613 a year.”
This is a shocking difference compared to the $512 annually for patients who are non-obese.
