Just as I was thinking, "America--Fuck Yeah!," I realized we have Cheeze Whiz. And we also have it in a "Light" version. Sigh.

My point is that while it is true that eating more = weight gain, why is it that people are eating so much more today?

Well, the short answer is that food is more readily available, is highly processed with additives and sweeteners (such as the High Fructose Corn Syrup you mentioned). Moreover, the more processed the food the less expensive it becomes. Moreover, you're getting more calories in the same volume of food (volume being what is generally what we use to determine if you're full).

Lets take Mac & Cheese as an example. A box of craft mac and cheese is 410 calories prepared for 1/3 of the box (1 cup of volume, ~2 oz by dry weight).

For the same weight of food (2 oz dry) you can make a dish at home using low fat milk, low fat cheddar cheese, and whole wheat pasta for a significant reduction in calories and an increase in the quality of the food. Hell, even skipping those changes a traditional home cooked mac and cheese recipe comes in at a whopping 232 calories for a 2 oz (dry) serving. Note the calorie information on that site is for 6 servings of ~5.5 oz each, not the 2oz serving that Kraft uses.

In fact, I doubt many people up here know what "Preakness" means. Sounds like a soft drink or something.

It always reminded me of the cookies

Go ahead, just pull a company off the top of your head that "specializes" in AI. I dare you.

Duh.

Easy enough to apply, too!

I guess you're just not too bright!

Tell Kraftfood that they should behae another way : Here or domainadmin@krafteurope.com

While I think the methodology and concept behind eHarmony is solid, the execution needs a lot of work. Instead, you'd probably be better off in DreamMates or American Singles.

American Singles???

From www.kraftfoods.com/maxwellhouse/mh_decaff.html

The Maxwell House® Family of naturally decaffeinated coffees offers the full-flavored taste of regular coffee, without the caffeine. Maxwell House® decaffeinates its coffees using pure water and natural effervescence. The effervescence gently draws the caffeine out of the beans, preserving their delicate coffee flavor.

I don't touch decaf, but who would genetically engineer decaf beans?

As much as I hate racial stereotyping, UPNs flagship shows have been typicaly targeted tward the urban African Americans. The only thing missing are commercials for StoveTop Cornbread. In fact, only BET shows these commercials dispite the fact that cornbread tastes a hell of alot better then their stuffing.

You can also try Kraft Foods who have a lot of easy to make recipes.

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon???

It was in here.

Unfortunately, I devoured it. Damn you Bill Cosby!

It just doesn't get any easier to have Mac than this.

I like a little advertising, it can enhance the realism. But it's very easy to take it too far (see MAC and Me for a good example of when a movie takes it too far), or to pander to the company.

Imagine how cool it would be to drive the weinermobile in GTA3, but Oscar Mayer probably would make it so you couldn't run over pedestrians in it.

Look at the side of a Maxwell House can. That's a coffee cup. It's also a tea cup, for that matter. Cups like these, typically holding five or six ounces are the standard for coffee, established back in the day (watch Lucy and Ricky or the Cleavers drink coffee -- back then mugs were for stevedores), even though most people these days use mugs. Goofy? Sure, but if they're refunding you it's because it's easier, not because they'd lose.

Oh, and the measured cup is, of course, eight ounces, but that's not the same thing -- the spoon you use to stir your tea isn't guaranteed to measure one teaspoon either, and my shoes don't have to accomodate twelve inch feet.

Will's Operating system should be called:

Wheatabix!!

Eww...that's nasty stuff. (I thought Weetabix would be similar to Shredded Wheat. Weetabix turns into mush approximately 2.45 seconds after you add milk.)

I sense a lawsuit from Crystal Light

how come i can't get no Tang 'round here!?

Dude, you forgot Tang(TM).

How could you forget Tang(TM), arguably the beverage with the most extreme orange taste and color known to humankind?

information wants to be expensive...nothing is so valuable as the right information at the right time.

Sure, it's a Maxwell House ad, but I didn't use it in the the context of an advertisement for something. It was an incidental comment made by someone, and it happened to get captured as a very small part of a larger work.

Now, let's continue and suppose that the documentary is aired by PBS, and some lawyer from Kraft Foods saw it and considered taking action against PBS, or perhaps myself, as the producer of the work.

Now one might argue that this is very different, because it was aired on PBS one time and now it's over. OK, let's take it one step further and suppose that PBS liked this documentary so much that they decided to sell the video. There they go, blatantly using Maxwell House's slogan to sell their video, erroding the brand recognition that in which they have invested so much.

Is this the stupidest thing you've ever heard? Me too, and I see no difference between the two.

Along the same lines, if somebody out there is looking for a delicious and nutricious project, I'm sure you could find a slogan or something in CNN's transcript archives, which would be pretty much the EXACT same thing as we're talking about in this story.

BTW, I suppose my using the actual slogan in this posting is just as serious an infraction, so I'm sure Kraft will be jumping on Rob and the Boys real soon.

That's my take,
