In reply to the discussion: Land 0'Lakes Butter lady: It's amazing how my perspective changed once I learned some facts [View all]Bluethroughu
(7,215 posts)I thought she was beautiful. Being a white woman, I did realize the cultural exploitation, but women of all shapes, colors and sizes have been exploited to sell everything and anything so it is nothing new for us, and I thought the natural scene that she was depicted in was in good taste. I was a little disturbed when the video went around about how to turn Mia into a peep show of sorts.
I used Land O'Lakes butter exclusively my whole life, until I read about them financially supporting the right wing nut(Steve King) in Iowa. I called and told them, I would no longer allow their product part of my family's meals and switched to an awesome vital farms product that I like better. It's been a few years, and I still glance over at Mia as I browse the butter isle, and feel bad about how my relationship with her had to end. Silly but true.
