I figure Shrek must have gone into Hollywood rehab, and changed his ways.<br /><br />Seriously, doesn't this situation epitomize the food/diet/obesity world. What's good was bad. What's highly caloric (olive oil, avocado, etc.) is very good for you. Reading Unhappy Meals, you realize that even nutritionists (whom I thought were unbias scientists)have an axe to grind.<br /><br />Can only people (or characters) who have never "abused" food be spokespeople? It's a good question.<br /><br />Instead of Shrek telling our children to exercise, maybe he should tell them to eat a lot less M&Ms and McDonald's. And maybe even better he should tell McDonald's to eliminate those horrible portions.<br /><br />Your comments are thought provoking.Agile DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608357371542052591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235392512584475782.post-8928811747180771332007-02-03T11:06:00.000-05:002007-02-03T11:06:00.000-05:00Do you not find it the least bit offensive that Sh...Do you not find it the least bit offensive that Shrek will be telling your kids to eat healthier, while at the same time he will be hawking products for McDonald's, Pepsi and M&Ms -- all companies who have negotiated tie-ins with Shrek 3?<br /><br />What kind of message does that send to kids?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235392512584475782.post-59150760003641952592007-02-01T15:11:00.000-05:002007-02-01T15:11:00.000-05:00When all you see are large portions, big plates, s...When all you see are large portions, big plates, supersized meals, a whole loaf of bread, giant desserts, then your mindset of what is "normal" gets skewed.<br /><br />I spent a little time in Europe and India recently, and I can tell you that everything from the containers of yogurt to the portions of pasta are smaller (and tastier), than what you find here in the good ole US of A. I don't want to live there, but I do want the restaurants over here to change (for the better).Agile DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608357371542052591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235392512584475782.post-37700882819896124362007-02-01T11:14:00.000-05:002007-02-01T11:14:00.000-05:00Just the other day I saw a show on Discovery calle...Just the other day I saw a show on Discovery called, "I eat 36,000 calories a day" about some grotesquely fat people who "just can't stop". One woman chowed down 36 cookies during the interview.<br /><br />I've been watching portions for about a month and now when I go to a restaurant I can't believe how large everything is. No wonder so many people are fat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
