As I sit in work I just heard a Boar's Head commercial about healthy eating and how feeding your child some food could lead them to diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol. Why would you lump diabetes into this? They make it seam as if we inflicted this upon our children based on poor eating habits! UGH - I had someone ask me once if that was why he got diabetes because I fed him junk? I happen to feed my children organic food - so there - no food is safe - especially since Type I is not food related!
I applaud the advertising industry for educating individuals on health related concerns - but there fact stating and research needs to be stepped up and sensitized to the various forms of health related issue. Not just you are what you eat - so to say.

I posted about this yesterday (or the day before.. ) about how misleading this commercial is.. I tried to contact them.. but no luck so far..:rolleyes: I totally agree that these companies need to be going after nutritious and informative commercials.. but come on.. do some research and don't lump things together..

I heard this commercial on the radio on my way home from work yesterday. I had heard about it here and was bothered by it, but once I heard it I was steaming! I couldn't find an e-mail link, but I'm going to continue looking.
