Special K Commercial: Ridiculous or Harmless?

A Special K commercial was recently brought to my attention. Many folks are upset by the woman in the ad contemplating skipping breakfast to lose a few pounds, and she is clearly not overweight. Take a look and you be the judge.

I do agree that skipping breakfast is not the answer to weight loss, but neither is showing a healthy, beautiful woman as the image of someone who needs to lose weight. To me, they have a good message, it just comes across the wrong way in this commercial. What do you think?

Kellogg's is no fool when it comes to getting on board with the health game.

They have recently released Special K20 Protein Water, which they claim is a refreshing drink that helps you stay on track. This follows Kellogg's push to have nutritious "shape management" tools (a nice way to say dieting) added to their line of foods, which target consumers interested in weight loss. It is quite an idea, especially since each bottle packs in 5 grams of protein. A four-pack of 16 oz bottles costs about $5.99.

Look for it in grocery stores near you. Try it out and let me know what you think.
