Coca Cola, nown for being the leader brand in sodas worldwide, used this ad to promote the consumption of soda in babies. Stating that it will increase the chances of "fitting in" to society during the pre-teens years of the child. But, there's no such thing as drinking coke to fit in or be popular in life. If people who started drinking sodas when they were teenagers, developed sings of diabetes and obesity at an early age, imagine if parents started to give soda instead of milk to their babies, more people will be affected by these diseases, earlier.
Companies want to make profit. They don't intent to sell us products that will benfit our bodies, it's and inevitable chain; they sell because we buy, we buy because they know how to sell, regardless the product. They are so good in selling and advertising, that even this absurd message in the poster above might have caught up cusomers attention.
Images like these, are the ones that we as citizens, specially customers, should pay a great amount of attention to. Not just reading it, but analizing it, to realize if the consumption of soda at early ages is truly "beneficial" to babies, which is not really the case.
