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!
I did too. The site did not want to accept my email address so I just deleted it and wrote it in again. It accepted it then. Scratching my head over that!
Even prior to her most recent tirade, I questioned the wisdom of Slimfast to have used Whoopie as a spokesperson and representative for their product. Bad choice.
To me, she has always been gross....gross in her demeanor, language and outlook on life. What company in their right mind would want her associated with them? Her face next to a product automatically sends the wrong message. She represents all that is crude, tasteless, and vulgar.
She is good for dieters, however.......because when you see her, you sure do not feel like eating!
E-mail Unilever, they need to apply the pressure. Here are more products to boycott from the Unilever
Dove, Knorr, Lipton, Slim-Fast, Iglo, Birds Eye, Surf detergent, Ponds cold cream, lux, Sunsilk, Bertolli Italian foods, Hellmanns.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have used your company's product for several years to combat my never-ending nemesis of "swivel-chair spread." Slimfast has been, or shall I say was, the quickest and best way I had found to take off a few pounds at those times when my trousers became too tight after weeks of wretched excess. Your product has worked and worked well for my purposes for years.
However (and isn't there always a however?), I will no longer be using your company's products due to your hiring of the "comedienne" Whoopi Goldberg as your company's spokesperson. Ms. Goldberg's offensive and hateful diatribes against the President and those young people in the armed forces of the United States do neither her nor your company any credit. I cannot continue to do any business with a company that would retain Ms. Goldberg's services in any capacity.
I have raised my children to understand that the foul-mouthed, hateful profanity that Ms. Goldberg spews on a regular basis is not an acceptable "family value" in my home. Your continuing to retain the services of Ms. Goldberg in any capacity makes it impossible for me and my family to do any further business with your company.
Please consider dropping Ms. Goldberg as your spokesperson at your earliest convenience. Until that happy day, no Slimfast (nor any other Unilever product) will make its way into my market basket.
Sincerely,
Thank you for the web site. I sent my complaint and will forward the address on to others.
Haven't bought Slimfast since I saw where they are big contributors to the Democrat Party.
You told us about them!! Just not the way they intended.
Yup. Your email is sure to cause a swift Chapter 11 Monday!
Splendid! I ALREADY use none of their products! I'm right even when I don't know I'm right!
That's a great idea - but have you let the company know?
Ditto. And, they helped fund the SoreLoserman post-election hijincks in 2000.
Emailed my protest.
Mine:
Whoopi Goldberg exercised her freedom of speech to profanely disrespect the President of the US at a democrat fundraiser. Though I do not agree with the President on every issue, I think displays such as Whoopi's harm the reputation of my country. I will, from today forward, exercise my freedom of choice and choose one of your competitor's brands-one whose public representatives do not embarrass me.
Well... No more Slim Fast for me. I just got a membership at Planet Fitness. I'll work off the pounds, not diet them off now.
Since your evil spokesperson, Whoopie Goldberg, insulted our President, and thereby, me, I am no longer a customer of yours.
My e-mail to Unilever
I was impressed to see the broad line up of products offered by Unilever. Unfortunately brands such as, Dove, Surf, Bertolli, Birdsye, and Slim fast will no longer be in my family’s grocery cart.
You can thank your vulgar, hate filled, anti American Slim Fast spokesman for that. When she is no longer part of your organization, I’ll certainly reconsider your products.

Email sent!
Good work on giving Slimfast a workout on using Whoopie (ie: the poor man's Paul Lynde) as a spokesbeast. If anyone wants to lose some weight, give South Beach a try. (My wife and I are both down 20 lbs)
I added your first paragraph to my note above and am trying to fax...it's not going through.... must be busy today!! LOL
I left them an email. I told them that all five of us USED to use SF and we will again IF they fire Whoopi.
Unilever execs have been notified! Thanks for the addresses.
