Chef Boy-are you serious?!
Dec 8th, 2010
The latest commercial in Chef Boyardee’s “Obviously Delicious. Secretly Nutritious” campaign REALLY irritates me. Here’s why:
1. They refer to the ‘food’ as a snack. Since when is serving your children a tub of ravioli slop a “snack”?! What’s for dinner? A bucket of KFC and a 2 liter of soda? A snack to me is grapes and raisins or yogurt and granola not a 240 calorie carbohydrate-laden sodium bomb. Just sayin’.
2. The vegetable ignorance. I know it can be very difficult to get children to eat sometimes but I feel it is less about vegetables and more about dealing with picky eaters. My kids know that vegetables are good for their health. I tell them that vegetables make them strong and smart. Some nights they gobble down their green beans and other nights they turn their noses up at the asparagus. One thing that stays constant is that vegetables are available every single day in my house. Chef Boyardee is not. Hide the vegetables in food or don’t but please educate your children on why vegetables are good for their little bodies. Please. Okay, lecture complete.
