Disney is not just in the business of theme parks and animation. They are hopping to the beat of current food trends with their Disney eggs. Yes, they are actually selling eggs imprinted with different Disney characters. The best part? Buy the additional egg mold and make the eggs into little mickey mouse Disney icons. Of the many current food trends, one of them is to buy local and organic. These eggs are neither. As fellow blog Jezebel asks, "Is this some kind of tie-in to a movie, or further proof of the evils of agribusiness and the coming apocalypse?" You can check out the commercial for these eggs at Jezebel. At first, I thought this was an SNL skit.
I can't help thinking that there is something intrinsically wrong with Disney advertising these eggs as extremely healthful with omega-3 and protein. While this may be correct, these eggs are just another form of big business mass producing industrialized foods with little concern for the environment, namely the food chain. Devoid of any sense of environmental responsibility, Disney is marketing these industrialized eggs to children. It's somewhat strange that they're selling eggs in the first place. But, if they're going to do it, can't they at least be organic? What do you think?
