Does Dannon’s anti-GMO yogurt characterize moms as dumb, neurotic?

The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion and analysis.

Go watch the latest video in Dannon’s new anti-GMO marketing campaign. A woman is standing in her giant white kitchen . . ., wearing perfect lipstick and a $200 shirt, whining about how life doesn’t always give us choices. . . . Then, she says that what goes into her body and her child’s body should be a choice (duh) and makes a grossed-out face about “this GMO thing.”

Anyway, . . . the woman thanks Dannon for rescuing her and giving her a choice. . . Oh my god, NO. That is not how women act. . . . strong, competent women don’t view themselves as victims who need to be rescued by the big, brave yogurt men.

Here’s an idea: Instead of assuming that consumers (and mothers) are ungrateful and neurotic, try appealing to our intelligence. . . .
