We enjoyed your products. They have made a great contribution to health and a healthy lifestyle.
However we cannot abide your TV spokesperson Whoopie Goldberg and her crude, vulgar, hate filled rhetoric against our President. As long as Whoopi is a spokesperson for your products we will elect to use products from other companies such as Carbsmart, etc..
Continue to support this lightning rod and her hatefilled rhetoric as you lose corporate profits.
Goodbye!
Even if she wasn't a traitor, you'd have to question the wisdom of using Whoopi Goldberg as a spokesman for a diet and beauty product. She still fat and she's butt ugly.
I sent them an email earlier today too.
I can't wait to see their faces when they return to work on Monday.
Whoopi Cushion is fugly! Didn't Ted Danson do a film called "White Men Can't See"?
bttt
I wrote to them already. I just read the email a friend of mine sent--she added something I wish I'd thought to include:
"I no longer have an appetite for SlimFast. Every time I look at something with the SlimFast logo on it, I think of what Whoopi Goldberg said and I feel nauseous." Something along these lines might be good to include in your letter of protest. Food companies just hate it when people lose their appetite for one of their products!
WhooPIG
I'm still scratching my head over Weight Watchers decision to use Monica Lewinsky as their spokesblimp.
Just sent my email as well.
Hope all freepers will do same.
'Course Whoopi is also a good example that SlimFast doesn't work...
I just finished writing to them. I feel so much better now! We have GOT to keep the pressure on these people and their corporate supporters to the extent that we can. We can make a difference if we let them know our feelings.
I thought I was Jenny Craig??
Let's not go there--the thought of that...."woman" having sex makes me wanna....urp...ulp...gotta go....
After Whoopi Goldberg's shameless hatriotic display in New York shilling for the anti-American John/John ticket, I will no longer buy any of your products while she remains your spokesperson. And forcryinoutloud...don't you want someone to speak for SlimFast that actually looks like the product works?
E-mail sent..

Re: Whoopi Goldberg
I use your products several times a year when I want to take off some quick weight. However, I cannot support your company as long as you have this woman as your spokesperson. While you pay her, she represents you. She did not do you well the other night. It's a free Country, you feel strongly about her, go ahead and keep her on. Your business will go down. I guarantee it. I'll find another product to use as will everybody I speak to. This just wasn't Whoopi giving her opinion as a US citizen, this was a crude, drunken tirade. Can you imagine what this country would be like if nobody was help at all accountable for the inappropriate things they say and do because they are celebrities? It's your choice, it's who you want to be as a Company. I wish you good luck with your decision.
