Why is food advertising important?

I think that food advertising is important because it is the main way that companies get their ideas and products out to people; if there was no advertising, many products and services would be oveerlooked and many wouldn't be even used or bought. Overall i think that advertising is a very important part of different companies becasue it is like the only wway that companies can let people know about what's new.
