Popis: In the U.S. today, women's bodies, more often than men's, are used as symbols of sex. Women's bodies are used to sexualize a space (for instance, go-go dancers at a night club), make a product seem sexy (e.g., in many ad campaigns for hard liquor), or simply incite sexual desire (as in pornography). It should be no surprise, then, that sex is used to sell food and that, when it is, it typically involves both sexualizing and gendering the food product. We see this in at least three ways.
