Essay 573


This ad from Pfizer appeared in the latest issue of Ebony. Give the pharmaceutical company some credit for trying to hype good nutrition and healthy living. But the message appeared alongside ads for Burger King, Mickey D’s, Rice-A-Roni, Accent Flavor Enhancer, Miracle Whip, Pepsi, Capri Sun, Oscar Mayer Lunchables, McCormick Season-All Seasoned Salt and Ebony’s Soul Food Cookbook. Seems like pretty tough competition, even for a powerful Black woman.
