It is easy to make a delicious-looking hamburger at home. But would this hamburger still look delicious
after it sat on your kitchen table under very bright lights for six or seven hours? If someone took a picture or
made a video of this hamburger after the seventh hour, would anyone want to eat it? More importantly, do
you think you could get millions of people to pay money for this hamburger?
These are the questions that fast food companies worry about when they produce commercials or print
ads for their products. Video and photo shoots often last many hours. The lights that the photographers use
can be extremely hot. These conditions can cause the food to look quite unappealing to potential
consumers. Because of this, the menu items that you see in fast food commercials are probably not
actually edible.
Let’s use the hamburger as an example. The first step towards building the perfect commercial
hamburger is the bun. The food stylist—a person employed by the company to make sure the products
look perfect—sorts through hundreds of buns until he or she finds one with no wrinkles. Next, the stylist
carefully rearranges the sesame seeds on the bun using glue and tweezers for maximum visual appeal.
The bun is then sprayed with a waterproofing solution so that it will not get soggy from contact with other
ingredients, the lights, or the humidity in the room.
Next, the food stylist shapes a meat patty into a perfect circle. Only the outside of the meat gets cooked
—the inside is left raw so that the meat remains moist. The food stylist then paints the outside of the meat
patty with a mixture of oil, molasses, and brown food coloring. Grill marks are either painted on or seared
into the meat using hot metal skewers.
Finally, the food stylist searches through dozens of tomatoes and heads of lettuce to find the best-
looking produce. One leaf of the crispest lettuce and one center slice of the reddest tomato are selected
and then sprayed with glycerin to keep them looking fresh.
So the next time you see a delectable hamburger in a fast food commercial, remember: you’re actually
looking at glue, paint, raw meat, and glycerin! Are you still hungry?

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776,
and it was also the first capital of the United States. But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known: it is
home to nearly 3,000 murals painted on the sides of homes and buildings around the city. In fact, it is said that
Philadelphia has more murals than any other city in the world, with the exception of Rome. How did this come
to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth
with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. From this small project, something magical
happened. The young people involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, but there were other,
perhaps more important benefits. The young people learned to collaborate and get along with many different
kinds of people during the various steps required to paint and design a mural. They learned to be responsible,
because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. They also learned to take
pride in their community. It is hard for any resident to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a
part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia, neighborhoods full of broken
windows and littered front steps, and you will find beautiful works of art on the sides and fronts of buildings. Of
course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but more affluent ones as well. Special buses take
tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which range from huge portraits of historical
heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the mural program created by Jane Golden has now become the nation’s largest
public art program and a model for other cities throughout the country seeking to help troubled youth.

A. knowingly misleading the reader referring to something that he or she does not personally believe
B. using a quote from someone else
