Have you guys seen the Wendy's "Meatetarian" commercial?

Question

Where the girl asks the guy if he wants a salad and he said sorry he was a meatetarian and he had to commit to it as he was eating a bacon,beef,cheese sandwich. Is this the worst anti-good health commercial in the world or what? Oh god all the clueless kids will try going "meatatarian after seeing it. And then they'll die of diabetes or something from not eating vegetables.

Answer 1

Yeah that isn't such a good a commercial to show. Meat is on the pyramid but too much of it is unhealthy and all the recalls on meat now I would be scared to eat that burger!  

Answer 2

oh, that's bad. Let's warn them off it!

Answer 3

First off its an awesome commercial. If you are a girl - clearly the commercial is geared towards M25-54, who generally eat more meat (and food) than women.

Second, people do not get diabetes from eating a lack of vegetables and a high meat diet, they get cardiovascular disease from the high cholesterol. You get diabetes from a high sugar diet, and inactive lifestyle.

Third, Bacon bacon beef bacon beef! its waaaay delicious (ahahaha! jokes)

Fourth, when have you ever seen a good health commercial ever. There is no money to be made in good healthy food, because it ends up being food that doesn't taste good, solo fresh foods. McD's as a single company probably spends more money in advertising in Canada for their 'food', than the entire nation does on foreign aid, or the Canadian Olympic team... or healthy food advertisements!

Ok Fifth and Final point. Anything that is gross and unhealthy for you, is probably the best tasting of all. The general rule I subscribe to is, the more unhealthy it is, the more delicious it is (high fat, sodium, refined sugars), whereas the more healthy it is (high fiber, whole grain/wheat, low refined sugars) probably doesn't taste so good. like. a Donut vs. an Apple - cmon, the choice is clear if you haven't eaten for a day.

Just ignore it. It's a Hilarious ad. I won't be buying Wendy's for that, since its grotesquely unhealthy. But hey, its a free country, if someone wants it, let them eat it!

Answer 4

I saw it and laughed because I used to try and go to wendys to get a salad because everything they make is "Made to Order" yet they couldnt sell me a salad without the cheese and chicken on it because they were premade. They should be sued for false advertising in my opinion.

What bugged me about the commercial the most was the guy stating he was "commited" to being a meatatarian, yet he was eating cheese and bread.

Answer 5

I agree!!! Worst commercial ever especially for health once every kid tries to be a "meatetarian"... I'm a vegetarian and think its important to eat vegetables!!! People nowadays have no brains!!!

but that's just one vegetarians opinion...lol

Answer 8

STUPID commercial for STUPID PEOPLE  who will believe anything and eat anything and wonder why they are overweight/have diabetes/stuck to the couch/and are still hungry

puuhleeeze  people    wake up !!

   TURN OFF THE TV AND GO OUTSIDE!!

Answer 9

It is a tongue-in-cheek commercial for a hamburger restaurant.  Did the commercial state that eating meat is healthier for you?  No.  This is the backlash of the diet crazes of the 80's and 90's.  And wendy's offers salads without meat or cheese, they are just side salads; people aren't going to buy a $5 salad at quick service restaurant with just veggies in it.
