Good nutrition? Healthy food? Bah. Who has time for those minor details when you’re creating a commercial for Nestle Nesquik? OK, so the stuff now has 25 percent less sugar but awarding kids chocolate milk in response to their finicky dislike of vegetables, whole grain bread, fruit and fish is questionable at best. “It’s OK Susie, you don’t have to eat that awful, healthy stuff, Just have some Nestle’s chocolate milk and by the time you’re 13, that muffin top you’ll be sporting will totally be in style.”

We think the food police will be giving Nestle a call soon.
