Campbell's defends 'Star Wars' commercial with gay fathers
Philly Voice ^ | Oct. 9, 2015 | Michael Tanenbaum

A new commercial from Camden-based Campbell's Soup Company features two fathers feeding their son 'Star Wars'-themed soup has come under fire from critics, but the company says it was creating a real reflection of the American family in the contemporary United States.

The commercial, a promotion ahead of the December release of 'The Force Awakens,' shows the fathers riffing on Darth Vader's bombshell 'Star Wars' quote: "I am your father!" The company developed the idea as part of its "Made for Real, Real Life" campaign, a tagline that aims to capture what's going on people's lives when they eat soup, according to AdAge.

Yes, you do. 1/2 cup live active culture yogurt from your store to 1/2 gallon milk. Whole or 2% make the creamiest yogurt. If you are interested I can send you the recipe. Super simple and really tastes better than store bought, at least I think so.

I have done the same here at our house. It wasn’t even a conscious effort. It started with making my own bread. All the variations in results with just sourdough starter. I could go on about wheat but I won’t bore you. It is really amazing to me how simple and complex food prep is, and how just a few ingredients give us healthy delicious food. The big thing for me is eliminating as much as possible the additives and preservatives we get in our processed food. So I can give up Cambells soup without a thought. Pull out some homemade soup from the freezer and enjoy.

Yes, please do send it to me. Either email or on this board.

What’s the shelf life of homemade yogurt?

Check yiour Mail. Recipe sent. I know freerepublic has a food thread, but it would be interesting to have a thread on the science of food. Or maybe that is just me.

Do you or have you used the yogurt cultures. Which do you prefer? I haven’t priced it but I have been told it is kind of expensive. The store bought yogurt to use as a culture is so easy.

I forgot to mention to beat your milk slowly. It makes for smoother yogurt and doesn’t crystallize.

Disney already killed the muppets.

Disney AUTHORIZED a homosexual to write a homosexual star wars based book.

They had better not screw star wars up or they will have pissed away 4.3 BILLION dollars.

No, haven’t. I’ve only used store bought plain yogurt, freeze it in ice cube trays and use one cube per quart of homemade yogurt. Then chain the homemade 3-4 times so each cube of store bought yields 4 qts.

Using the Star Wars soup in the commercial put a big red stamp on the movie for me.

As if every single Christian in the world were struggling to the utmost in a third world siege situation?

Pull out the merit badges for those to be sure, but how about the rest? Even including you? This WAS about businesses in the USA and suddenly you’re bringing in people living cheek by jowl with ISIS?

You are masterful at changing the subject matter irrelevantly to dodge substantive concerns.

Well there’s going to be a limit to how “out” they can get in an age when people see themselves under siege by a movement that knows no limits of decency, before they lose popularity.

If people didn’t think of Campbells campiness then, they will now.

I got to learn to proofread my posts especially when using my iPad. I meant to post...HEAT the milk slowly. Don’t let it boil.

THAT I have never understood.

It appears thine “death to self” has undergone system failure, in view that you apparently believe yourself entitled to judge others harshly over trivialities. Bless your heart, baby Christian.

So, in your version of Christ, he calls names to other believers? Right.

He said to Peter, "Get thee behind me Satan"

Now if Peter took that as a permanent condemnation that would be Peter's fault, not Christ's. (He didn't and it wasn't.)

Lame. And inapplicable: that was his name, not a perjorative.
