Anorexic Nestlé Cow

Hello out there in internet land. What are you doing here? You have the world at you fingertips! The most comprehensive grouping of information available since the first recordings of human discovery is sitting in front of you and yet your reading my ramblings? Wow.

Either i am good or you are REALLY bored. Well as long as you are here i might as well continue rambling. Yes, yes i am your dancing monkey and here comes the music.

I work in a grocery store, more specifically in the dairy/frozen department of an unnamed grocery store. This store will remain unnamed so they don't fire me because more than likely i will rant about how much i hate them so...

But there is time for that later, right now i want to talk about a line of products put out by Nestlé which are the skinny cow ice cream snacks.

These snacks freak me out every single time i look at them. I mean seriously i defy you to look at that cow for more than 30 seconds without wincing once (and yes wincing in your mind counts!).

Here is a link to what a regular cow is supposed to look like: COW

Ya, look at those cows. Compare. Seriously, wtf!!!!

This cow actively looks like it is suffering from some kind of internal parasite. If i saw a cow that looked that unhealthy i would wonder why someone hadn't shot it for its own good. Like really, this product is the thing that pisses me off most in the world. (yes more than taco bell, mcdonalds, or STYROFOAM!!! oh how i hate Styrofoam too...)

This cow is an advertisement for anorexia, yes i know it seems like over reacting but when you consider how frighteningly common eating disorders are becoming it is a little more disgusting that this is how a giant company chooses to advertise.

Don't get me wrong, i don't like anything that proclaims fat-free, low fat, low carb, fiber, or anything like that. Nutrition is simply too complex a thing for us to try and analyze, as with most things it becomes increasingly specialized within its own field until you can study just one nutrient and understand it to the loss of all the others (and you probably wont understand it either). Just eat real foods, people have survived on it for a very long time, i am sure you will be fine.

My problem is a cow that is thinner than most people i know! Parents are now supposed to be on the lookout for eating disorders in their children under 10. That is ridiculous. And yet there are websites out there for people who are "pro-ana" which stands for pro anorexia. Yes, that exists too.

Anorexia is not something to advocate for, it is a mental disorder. When you avoid eating the way someone with anorexia does your organs to not get enough nutrients to actually grow. Your heart, lungs and liver as well as other internal organs do not grow when they are supposed to so that they will remain undersized for the rest of your life.

Please, don't listen to the dieing cow, eat fresh fruit and vegitables. Exersise. And be happy with who you are, it will serve you better in the long run.
