True the vast majority of the time. This ad though doesn’t promote anything malicious. It’s a cute story with the message “eat healthy stuff like vegetables and fish”, with a brand name/ logo at the very end.


You think the company went "ah forget about profit, we'll spend our money for the good of the people"?

The company is virtue signaling, pandering, and you're falling for it. Jesus Christ.


> The company is virtue signaling

It is true!

And as a (very occasional) customer, I like that this company is signalling that it does not oppose inclusion and doesn't mind questioning "traditional values" (the wolf eating animals).

Many actors these days (both companies and political figures) are very much signalling the contrary, so some kind of signalling is absolutely useful.


> The company is virtue signaling

Is that the way people say "advertising" these days?


Bah! Humbug!

Enjoy your simulated steak.


The supermarket does sell actual food here. That is a thing that they do.
