The Breakthrough Innovation Group at Kraft Foods is assembling a small, exclusive online advisory community to directly influence the next generation of food products and services. This community will consist of leading chefs, nutritionists, fitness instructors, food writers, importers, and others passionate about cooking, eating and health.

We already have several yogi’s in the group and I want there to be more of us!

If selected, you, along with other professionals and members of this small, expert group will help generate and shape the food products of the future while freely exchanging advice, experiences, recipes, connections and questions.

As a member of this exclusive advisory community, you’ll agree to log in and contribute your thoughts (via surveys, discussions, chats with industry leaders, etc.) an average of 5-15 minutes per week at whatever time is convenient for you.

In addition to advising and building relationships with other members, you will receive tangible gestures of appreciation for your time and energy, such as Amazon e-gift certificates in exchange for your participation.

How do you join? Take the survey!

To help us assemble a strong and diverse group, please complete a brief 5-minute questionnaire. If selected, you will be notified shortly thereafter. Your responses to the questionnaire will help in the selection process and will be used ONLY for that purpose. All of your responses will be kept confidential and will NOT be used or distributed for any other purpose.

I see, so you’re spamming on behalf of Kraft foods? I’ll be calling them soon to ask them about their spamming policy.

Whoah David, it’s actually pretty cool, market research for Kraft Foods, they are trying to figure out what HEALTHY products they can introduce so that they are more up with what people should be eating, mainly because not everyone can afford to shop at whole foods like you can, so Kraft is being socially responsible and trying to introduce new and affordable HEALTHY products for the masses. Please visit the Healthworks foundation where I teach yoga to underprivledged woman and girls who can’t afford the healthy foods they should be putting in their bodies, AND feel free to call Kraft and thank them for what they are doing. And, please think about joining the community to help them and also, please namaste, this is not a place to bash companies or people.

Nor is it a place for unsolicited advertising (spam).

Kraft should know better.

#5

If you visited the link you would see it’s not advertising, this is market research and also ANOTHER online community for like-minded individuals to connect, share and advise.

#6

Hahah.

Fair enough. I’m going to go print up 10,000 “yogaforums.com” stickers and head to all my local super markets and stick them on every Kraft product I can find. It after all wouldn’t be advertising, it would be for ANOTHER online community for like-minded individuals to connect, share and advise.

I’m excited about our partnership with Kraft Foods!

I’m editing the thread title to showcase the exciting news!

Based upon how I’ve experienced that Kraft scours the internet for usages of its name and loves to lawyer people, I’m sure it won’t be TOO long before they find this.

Dear Kraft,

I will not remove this thread until I receive a hand written apology from your CEO. Not COO, not marketing director, not some call center warm body, your CEO. You can contact me at david -at- yogaforums.com for my home address. If I do not receive this written apology within 30 days, then the Can Spam Act and other fun stuff is going to come into play.

Jeeze, I’m not even affiliated with Kraft, I’m a member of the online community and thought other yoga people might like to be too, you can use your amazon rewards for being a member to buy yoga mats and books! I will just take kraft out of the post, then it could be for any brand, maybe even cascadian farm organics, would you go to the grocery store and put a sticker on all their foods?

lottieeb ,whats wrong with the food that already grows on this planet what are these next generation foods ,you refer too ?

#12

Personally I PREFER the food that grows on the planet and I think this silly company is starting to realize that everyone else does too, and they are trying to stop using processed yucky things and get with the program. It won’t be overnight, but at least they are taking a step to try and figure out how, by reaching out to people who are thought leaders in healthy, NATURAL eating :slight_smile:

Now we need to get McDonalds and all their friends on board too! Maybe Coke, Pepsi, whose next?

Hahah.

First you say:

The Breakthrough Innovation Group at Kraft Foods is assembling a small, exclusive online advisory community
Then you say you’re not affiliated with them, you’re just with the community.

I’ve just contacted Kraft and linked them to this thread. If you’re NOT affiliated with them, I’ll let Kraft lawyers deal with you (they’re ferocious, let me tell you). If you are, they can apologize as requested above. Since your community page lists them as a client at the very least, this should be interesting!
