Fast
food and restaurants have been using rhetorical strategies for years to try
their best to appeal to consumers. You cannot really blame the food industry
for deceiving the public by advertising their product better than it actually
is. I have no issue at all with the use of rhetorical strategies to catch the
attention of adults. But companies like McDonald’s use rhetorical strategies to
catch the attention of kids. As stated by Jessica Padden, “During
the 1960s, Play Places and McDonaldland parks were developed for the
restaurants so that they became more than just a restaurant in the eyes of
children.” By implementing strategies like Happy Meals and play places,
McDonalds hit the jackpot because normally when a child is kicking and
screaming because they want something, they will probably end up getting it. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Rhetorical-Exploration-of-Fast-Food-Marketing-to/d4ae4fcd3398596053d0ddd37a30b4e18d0c306c
