Hi, I’m sorry, my expressions were sent to the person who wrote the article and I may have, clearly now, confused the picture as if it was from the writer.
I was talking about Zac, well sure now.
I’m sorry about that. Really, and I don’t even know if Zag is a man or … well, please take “boy” to the appropriated owner of the cumpliment.
And I sincerelly still don’t know who are them, but the make it clearer, I consider the mention under “quotes” as a credit to the one who found it and posted here along to complement an point of view.
The excess of mine on being in a rush were due to that. The purpose of the writen is important, as a whole.
Shall that clear it up?
I haven’t read Lloyd’s name anywhere. Sorry.
Ending to short: I cumplimented the idea on the article. Whoever it has been. Sorry. Zac’s then.

Hi Marcos,
I’m not quite sure I understand your comment. Are you speaking about Lloyd or Zac?

When Disney announced the release of Mickey Mouse-branded eggs a couple months back, Treehugger’s Lloyd Alter wrote:
“Sometimes I think that the world is becoming more sane, that people are beginning to understand where food comes from, and that marketing to children is becoming a little less respectable. Then I see Disney branded eggs and wonder what is going on here.”
…
How old is this boy to have such un understanding about human, all, necessities?
How old is this boy to have such an understanding about childrens needs and values?
This boy is a genious and although I have mixed brands and fragilities and therefore unable to comprehend his last phrase, uau… he deserves my compliments… what a guy! Better listen to him a bit more. He seems do know profoundly more about judgments than ourselves.

I’m obviously getting old because I had to use Google to figure out who Zac Efron was. That said, I agree with Lloyd about how utterly silly this seems from the perspective of someone who wants to live in a world where people understand food and where it comes from.
But then again, I share your ambivalence – if this is what it takes to get kids to eat carrots and not junk food, then so be it, and kudos to Disney for making the effort, even if branded produce feels totally bizarre.
