Who’d thought a Yogurt commercial could be controversial?

Say hello to Yoplait who has yanked a recent commercial(see below).

What is upsetting people about this commercial, is the mental process the main female character goes through to eat a single piece of cheesecake.

Lynn Grefe, president and CEO of NEDA [National Eating Disorders Foundation], told the Huffington Post that “To see this behavior in a commercial tells people with eating disorders, see, it’s even on TV. It’s OK and normal for my head to go through all these mental exercises.”

Yoplait is no doubt trying to trumpet it’s low fat product to a diet conscience country. But it had appeared to have misjudged its audience here. An earlier commercial focusing on a male character was better handled.

This isn’t the first time Yoplait has come under fire from consumers. There were these cutesy commercials and some push back to their pink lids campaign.

Issues relating to food, health and dairy products have been in the news of late.

Recently in Michelle Obama’s released the “MyPlate” nutritional guide (as opposed to the food pyramid of 2005). The drink with that plate?… a cup of milk. This makes the Milk industry happy

the industry has convinced USDA to recommend increased consumption of a product that’s not only unnecessary, but is actually bad for most people.

Is milk unhealthy? How about chocolate milk?  Los Angeles has taken a stand on that issue and decided to ban the sale of chocolate milk in public schools.

After the film Supersize Me exposed the dangers of a McDonald’s diet…. we’ve been looking at the food we eat with a more critical eye.

How much milk do you drink per week?
