Feel free to discuss your opinions on the health benefits of Quest products, but derailing this thread with "ROFL AMERICA IS UNHEALTHY" or similar crap is a ban | ||

The promotion does in no way state that the protein bars are healthy for kids. Did you actually read the OP or did you just knee-jerk? I would also really like to hear how you think Obama-care has anything to do with this. | ||

Ask them what it has to do with esports if you wish. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/477931-incontrol-in-esl-healthcare-psa | ||

I would still like to know from where you got the notion that protein bars are a healthy food for kids as that isn't anywhere in the OP and as far as I can tell you are the one making the silly claim - but I guess it is easier being snarky than applauding initiatives to promote health. | ||

No it doesn't directly state it but it's strongly implied that the bars are healthy as this is a health initiative and the company's called Quest Nutrition. Seems like they're trying to piggy-back a health initiative to sell slightly healthier processed crap to kids. | ||

Because we bought tons of that, and were promised so much for it. So, I wouldn't be surprised if people who bought the shirt got no protein bars at all, and then you don't need to worry at all if they are healthy. | ||

Relative to similar products on the market, these bars are not nearly as unhealthy as they have been made out to be in this thread. It's not what you should be eating while chilling in front of the TV, but having one after exercise isn't bad at all, and the fact that they're made by Quest doesn't immediately turn them into "processed crap" | ||

That being said they are certainly hoping this helps people think of them in healthier terms and such but they aren't trying to tell people that they should replace their fruits and veggies with these bars... | ||

Seems like they're trying to piggy-back a health initiative to sell slightly healthier processed crap to kids. You want to know what healthy is? Raising your own meats, cutting the bad fats off of them, growing your own vegetables and making your own healthy oils, then eating nothing but veggies and naturally grown lean meats with a mix of natural, untouched nuts and homemade healthy oils. You know what is healthier than eating the shit that most people eat on a daily basis? Eating Quest Nutrition bars. Don't like that fact? Hate people, not Quest Nutrition for making something decent to eat in a product that people would actually eat it. Don't start talking nonsense about processed crap. Pretty much the only unhealthy thing in the damn things is the "healthier than most sweeteners" sweetener. Aside from that, most nutrition in it is either healthy or neutral. On a side note, it'd be really awesome if they made this design in a workout shirt. I'd totally buy that shit, probably more than one. Probably going to buy one of these too. | ||

I literally said it's slightly healthier. Just because something is better than shit doesn't make it healthy or worthy of promotion. If this product means people settle for it and feel like they're eating healthy that's a bad thing. Why are you so keen to defend a bar of artificially sweetened protein posing as kid's nutrition? Obviously there's worse stuff out there but at least Snickers isn't deceiving parents into thinking they're doing a decent job. | ||

i'm sittin' here, trying to think in what circumstances i'd buy protein bars for my kids and so far i have nothing. i can't seem to pass "but why would they need it?, or what should they not eat/stop eating in order to squeeze in those bars". | ||

Those snacks don't add any value to a standard american (kids) diet. The problem ist not that kids don't get enough proteins, carbs or fat. Nutritional science suggests you should promote snacks that are high in micronutrients and REAL fiber. Over the past decades research has shown that a diet high in fresh fruits, vegetables (especially dark leafy veggies), nuts and wholegrains is the healthiest known one. Advertising QuestBars in context with health is misleading. You just help food corporations (who evidently don't act to make people healthier) maintain their delusive power. | ||

So is the general idea behind the people that are bent out of shape about this, that companies who make less than ideally healthy products can't/shouldn't try to raise money for health related NPO's? Or that the organization shouldn't take money from companies who make less than ideal nutritional options in the interest of promoting kids health? | ||
