Food and Drink Advertising executives - can you PLEASE think about what you call things? - Page 2

htismaqe · 02-15-2019, 11:47 AM

As a protein enthusiast and keto dabbler, I get a lot of ads.

Why in the world would people call their product "nut milk" or "nut butter"?

I mean, there's almost never a time when you want someone to get their mind INTO the gutter, but this is one of them.

Silk thought it was a good idea to mix almond milk with cashew milk and call it "nut milk".

My teenage daughter got a nice chuckle out of it. But I'm sure as heck not drinking ANYONE'S "nut milk".

My sister did the keto diet. The only thing I ever saw her eat was cheese. Cheese as a snack. Cheese as bread. Cheese as a soup base.

Made me sick to my stomach.

There's a ton of variations on low-carb eating. Back when I did it the first time, it was Atkins.

I'm not a big fan of cheese though. I don't think it's all that good for you, especially in excess.

Do you have a plunger? I've been eating a lot of cheese lately.

And even if it was, I wouldn't be drinking pea milk. LOL

Pea milk and nut butter come from the same region. I don't want either in my mouth. NTTAWWT

Basically, 60 years ago, there were two competing theories in the American dietary world. Theory number one said that sugar was bad for you. Theory number two said that fat was bad for you.Theory number two won. Most likely because sugar is easier to mass produce than fat is.

So, Americans started eating "fat-free" foods that replaced all that deliciousness with the cheapest, most readily available ingredient: ~~sugar~~ high-fructose corn syrup. As the country grew more and more overweight, we continued to point to fat as the culprit. "Look at that McDonald's meal! All that fat!" Meanwhile, we casually ignored the shit tons of ~~sugar~~ high-fructose corn syrup that went into the buns, the ketchup, the cokes, the FRIES... nope, it was all about the fat in the burger. Which, we all know, wasn't even beef at one point.

So, now that we have effectively identified ~~sugar~~ high-fructose corn syrup as our big culprit, I think we are returning to the original debate. We are de-stigmatizing fat and, as we watch our friends shed scores of pounds on keto, saying "hmmm... I think I'm gonna try that."

The fact is, when you see a friend go from 270 to 210 in four months, you get over your fad diet objections and try it for yourself.

FYP

But I agree with the gist of it about upping your fat and protein intake and cutting down on sweetened products.

Because you are now posting about it in a forum, and bringing it to the attention of many other people, who are all now talking about it as well.

You may not like the name, but it's a great crossover brand with buttermilk.

I heard a report on a radio show a few weeks back, that you can buy cockroach milk. Turns out it is still being researched and not yet produced for purchase.

Nut milk serves an important purpose for some people. My grandson is allergic to many things including milk. Nut milk is about the only high calorie food he will eat. He would be under-weight if he didn't drink it. Nut milk is much higher calorie that soy, almond, and other options.

The second container is creased just so, that it literally has a dick and balls as the image on it. Come on!
