Get over it, people!!! I deal with obesity and emotional/compulsive eating issues every day of my life. This commercial is hardly giving the message that unhealthy eating is ok or funny, nor is it poking fun at anyone!!
The most important thing I've learned from my journey, is that I am the only one who makes the choices of what goes in my mouth! Believe me when I tell you, it's not always easy, nor do I always make heathy choices.
To point fingers at a commercial and say "they made me do it" is allowing yourself to remain in "victim" mode.
Let's all of us put on our big-girl britches, and declare with pride that "I'm in charge".

We are micro analyzing everything these days. Are there subliminal messages in advertising? Of course! But most of us tune out TV commercials. The only time we are influenced is when all these special interest groups make a fuss, forcing us to rethink the commercial.
Let's face it - most of are tempted to eat food that is delicious and decadent. Making the healthy choice is up to us. The ad is true to life, humorous and makes us realize there are other choices besides cheesecake!
