Expensive growing kids
Feb 19th, 2009 by morpheus
If you watch television, you’re sure to have seen the advertisements for numerous health drinks. These health drinks supply today’s children with all the nutrients that they’d otherwise never even hear about, much less have as a part of their diet.
Vitamins Alpha through Omega, minerals and elements that don’t even figure in the periodic table, and mostly a lot of pseudo-scientific babble – let’s face it … you need all of those to avoid growing up to be a total loser. After all, who can argue with the word of the “Department of Nutrition” (from a Complan ad, as seen on TV!) ?
Deeply concerned by the way natural food was killing their kids, hundreds of good looking mothers march upto the said “Department of Nutrition” … they want blood … er, answers !
Scared out of his wits, the guy with a stethoscope around his neck (evidently, a doctor) reveals the sensational findings of a research “carried out over a period of three years on hundreds of kids” – kids who drank Complan grew twice as fast as those who didn’t.
You heard it here first folks ! Why, you ask ?
I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of government conspiracy. “They” don’t want us to know about the findings of a “research” that conclusively proves that regular food is just not good enough for modern kids. The outing of this “research” would mean the end of all naturally grown food, and by extension, the end of all involved in the sham of a business called farming.
What the advertisement doesn’t tell us is about the protocols used in the alleged “research”.
Were the children from the two groups (A – those who consumed Complan, and B – those who didn’t) equal in all other respects ?
I’ll bet the groups were divided based on the children’s existing diets. Here is the pitfall –
Group A – kid drinks Complan regularly -> kid is probably from a well-to-do family -> kid probably has a better overall diet, notwithstanding his Complan intake.
Group B – kid doesn’t drink Complan -> kid is probably from a poor family -> kid is probably malnourished anyway.
Honestly, which well-to-do family doesn’t get their kids some health drink or the other ?
Anyway, just like the helicopter moms in the TV ad, I’m utterly outraged at the way mother nature has failed to provide us with sustenance.
Thanks to health drinks, today’s kids can have proper nutrition – provided it’s the right brand … 😉
Dude….!
kids who drank Complan grew twice as fast as those who didn’t.
We need to ask the Complan mummy’s whether their children will grow faster or their pockets will get empty faster… Funny quotes..! Somehow or other they want to flood in TV ads.
