An Open Letter To Beyoncé: Be Part Of The Solution, Not The Problem


By Jeff OConnel

"Your work has entertained and inspired a generation of fans. Unfortunately, many of them are or will become casualties of America's biggest public health crisis. I'm not talking about violent crime, HIV, or hunger. I'm talking about obesity and type-2 diabetes, killers of far more people than those three plagues combined.

The main cause of this health crisis is the overconsumption of junk food and sugary drinks produced by the likes of PepsiCo, the company that recently signed you to a $50 million product-endorsement deal."

What do you all think? Do you agree?

I agree, although it is a huge deal with Pepsi. Britney, Mariah and MJ did it also, so I'm not against it at all. But everything is true.

Jeff O'Connel is free to turn down any $50,000,000 deal that happens to come his way.

They didn't lie

Here's the thing, it all seems like maybe she is just doing it for the money, there is no way an avid soda drinker can have the body that beyonce has, in fact she is probably on a strict diet of fruits and vegetables.

I love bb.com
Couldn't agree more

Did they lie though?

North America's waistline is steadily expanding...

Beyonce isn't the first musician to promote a soda; I don't understand why it's such an issue now.

trying to rush to countershade smh

*perched

I wonder if Beyonce's Move Your Body campaign is still, you know, moving.

@KingBey21
I think it's because Bey has been campaigning that Move Your Body program against obesity. Maybe BodyBuilding.com sees it as double standard or hypocrisy. Which is why i need to see if Bey's people has any comment on this.

because obesity in america have never been higher along with so many deaths

Mess

Bey and her husband are about money & power, not about standing up for something.
She was a Bush supporter at first then became Obama fangirl.
She was spokeswoman for Michelle Obama's Move Your Body campaign to fight childhood obesity but now she promotes Pepsi. She also used to claim to be allergic to perfume but now she has her own perfumes. She even does Loreal shampoo commercials with a weave on.

They didn't lie.

But I'm not mad at King B for cashing in that $50 mil either tho.

Britney did it also back in 2001, and when she went out drinking Coca Cola her manager got pissed because she was risking her Pepsi deal. And like you said, Beyoncé is probably on a strict diet, but considering that she dances and work out a lot, I think she does drink Pepsi sometimes. I have no doubts tho that it is all for money.

I agree with the fact that Pepsi is trash and that people should stop sipping those drinks all day and get fat for nothing

On the other hand, many had done pepsi from madonna to micheal to janet to britney, why single her out?
