VeganDeVil Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 No, it does not go too far. Yes, it is jarring to see children talking about something as serious as cancer. But so much of the health and obesity epidemic in America is due to misinformation and a love of convenience. I wish there were more 'jarring' commercials like this about nutritional health and welfare. Maybe some people will wake up and do a little homework.

BodhiDave85 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I like this commercial - wish it came out much sooner...as far as "appropriateness" I tried looking at it from an omnivores point of view and I wouldnt have been offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingVeg Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It is getting a lot of press, which I think is great. It's important to get people talking about the cancer risks from meat and this is a good way to start that dialogue. Too many people erroneously feel that eating meat is to the benefit of their health, not the detriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It is getting a lot of press, which I think is great. It's important to get people talking about the cancer risks from meat and this is a good way to start that dialogue. I agree. I think it's a great commercial. It's sad that most "kid foods" are foods linked to cancer and heart disease: hot dogs, fries, burgers, chips, candy, pizza, cheese, Lunchables...etc. Parents and kids should be informed about this.

CollegeB Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm not opposed to it but I dont think people are really going to take seriously a commercial proposing a link between health problems and hot dogs. It gets attention though. I wish Neal had done more of a health infomercial type thing, just presented some charts or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I like it. The kids eating that food really grossed me out. I don't know if meat eaters would get ed by it. I think if it's too over the top ing it wouldn't be effective. I think it might reach a few parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
