Her angel's face, As the great eye of heaven shined bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place. Edmund Spenser

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.

Health messages are simply overwhelmed, in volume and in effectiveness, by junk-food ads that often deploy celebrities or cartoon characters to great effect.
