I was watching Real Housewives of Orange County while reading a law review article about ethnic conflict as a result of Market Dominant Minorities, when I saw this:
It's possibly one of the most appalling ad campaigns ever. Basically, the message is, if you can't say why it's bad, then it's not bad. I can't tell you why Leprosy is bad, but I know it's not alright in moderation.
The fact of the matter is that childhood obesity has gone through the roof since the 1970's, when soda and junk food companies started to use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar in their products. Childhood diabetes is also not good in moderation.
I have to say, the characters are also, how to put this delicately . . . stereotypical? The white suburban lady is afraid of things she doesn't really know anything about. The African American woman has some colorful HFC laden juice with no label or name, but a very non-organic color (anybody see Dave Chappelle's purple drank?). Ugh! Ugh, I say!
