astraea82's Notizen, 07 Mai 11

So here is the email I sent and the response I got back from fatsecret when I asked about the Red Robin ads. In fact, there is one on my page right now asking "Who makes the most craveable burgers?". Anyway, here it is:

Hi, this message is regarding the Red Robin ads that I keep seeing pop up on the pages that I visit. I understand that the site needs to generate revenue, but in my opinion it is ethically wrong to display tempting food ads to a group of people who are struggling with body image, weight, and possibly self-esteem. The ads for Red Robin are not even showing healthy items but instead concern "craveable hamburgers." I am asking that you request that the sponsor advertise their healthy items (if they even have any). Otherwise, I do not see how a weight-loss website can morally continue to have Red Robin as a sponsor. Thank you.

I was just telling my boyfriend how crazy it is that I keep seeing ads for ice cream bars on a diet website! Glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. Try to think of it this way, life is full of temptations and part of living a healthy life is being able to resist these things, this is just practice for real life (non web) temptation :)

If the adds bother you I suggest that you stop using internet explorer.. Mozilla blocks all adds from every site you visit.

I can't think of a worse ad then one that has the slogan "Burger Craving". I can't believe how they don't understand!!
