Neutrality in question

Article needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. It's obvious that the writer despises the subject of the article - which does not fit Wikipedia guidelines.

Nice dig at fat people with the "obesogenic" reference, too. That footnote is not up to Wiki standards either. 90.157.234.124 (talk) 18:44, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the majority reads more like a thinly-veiled rant than a Wikipedia article. --Earin (t) 09:22, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the article to the version previous to the addition of all that... stuff. If the editor who added it is interested in promoting his/her views on topics like obesity and over-protection of children in the UK, I'm sure they can find an article to do so. This is not it, unless a specific and well-sourced criticism of this product along those lines is provided to back up the claims. The material amounted to little more than a thinly-veiled attempt to hijack a subject to promote a biased point of view. Criticism and negative information in product and corporate articles are encouraged and meant to provide balance, not attack or disparage the subject, or serve as a rant platform. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 01:02, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
