Dairy Farmer's RDs Think Canadians Aren't Eating Enough

Blarf.

So there's a new immersive advertisement app being marketed promoted by the Dairy Farmers of Canada's Registered Dietitians. According to them we Canadians simply aren't eating enough, and they and the app are here to help.

It's called, "Get Enough" (not kidding) and using it involves you tracking the number of Canada Food Guide servings of this that and the other you've had each day and if you're not eating "enough", the app will provide you with handy hints on how to eat more.

There's charitable healthwashing charity involved as well as Dairy Farmers of Canada has partnered with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Osteoporosis Canada and the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada whereby they'll donate up to $50,000 to each organization dependent on how much the app is used.

What's more amazing is that this advertisement app made literal news with a Canadian Press story covering the app, and then yesterday the story hit at least one major morning show where again we were again told, Canadians aren't eating enough these days.

So I downloaded the advertisement app and I entered a day of servings to see what sage advice it would give me.

Here's literally the first tip I received:
