Task B
1. Lots of people enjoyed and lost weight with the extreme exersise health fad it helped lots of people and many became healthy. Many people had the coconut oil health fad because it cured all sorts of illnesses and kept people feeling great. The organic process health fad was very popular in the very old age but now in our days it is very little to be used.
3. I think the promotion of fads is successful so that people will be able to do more learn more for example: exersise extreme health fad you can lose wieght and become healthy and fit people that need that will be able to now that and be able to change there life around.
4. I think it will be unsuccessful because for example: The extreme exersise health fad if it is advertised somewhere the people might get afended of it.
5. The fad I would choose to try would be the "Organic process health fad." Because I would love to just eat organic healthy food like fruit and vegetables. Not chemical foods.
6. I would not like to try the "Extreme exersise health fad" because it would take up to much of your time and its pretty tiring, I would want to do it but not that much not all the time.
7. Well a negative side for the Organic process health fad is that it would get a bit boring and anoying eating fruit and vegetables all the time for every meal. The negative side of the Extreme exersise is that it would take up so much time in your life that you would be exersising all the time and it would also get tiring and you would get a bit sore after a while.
