Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm with you Jackie, in theory, but how many RDs are paying for ads to keep the magazine in business. Without ads, they would not be available. . . subscriptions never pay for magazine costs. So, I think it's admirable to avoid drugs, but can the magazine stay in business without one drug ad? Just some thoughts from the other side . . . maybe more RDs should be purchasing ads! ;-) Jan In a message dated 10/30/2008 8:29:40 A.M.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 can the magazine stay in business without one drug ad? My opinion:? I would certainly hope so! ? If they can't, then there is something wrong. ?? Has the magazine ever appealed to any RD's to place ads in there?? I know I have never been contacted. ? How hard did they work to find health oriented advertisers once they realized the drug company was the quickest way to get money?? I have looked through a few other health based magazines (don't want to bring in other names) and I don't see any drug ads.? I think its a matter of ethics - the magazine should stick to the subject and promote what it states - EATING WELL.? Jacquelyn A.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 In all fairness, there are times when diet and lifestyle cannot management diabetes alone and drugs are needed. I just got back from FNCE and was less than thrilled with all the exhibits. I just walked by the ones that I was not interested in. Judy Simon MS,RD,CD,CHES UW Seattle can the magazine stay in business without one drug ad? My opinion:? I would certainly hope so! ? If they can't, then there is something wrong. ?? Has the magazine ever appealed to any RD's to place ads in there?? I know I have never been contacted. ? How hard did they work to find health oriented advertisers once they realized the drug company was the quickest way to get money?? I have looked through a few other health based magazines (don't want to bring in other names) and I don't see any drug ads.? I think its a matter of ethics - the magazine should stick to the subject and promote what it states - EATING WELL.? Jacquelyn A.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Judy, I agree with you, and obviously there are millions of people on meds for diabetes management, but all I am saying is that this kind of advertising does not belong in a magazine of this nature, and is sending out mixed messages. We are promoting preventive measures, so to me drugs should be last resort, and should be left to the MD's. I think the reason I'm so passionate about it is that drugs are used all too quickly, and most people expect the drug to take over and do the work. I've seen it happen so many times with my clients. As soon as they went on a drug they cut their efforts way down on trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Jacqui Jacquelyn A.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Like my friend the cardiologist who puts all of his pts on a statin and tells them to eat whatever they want. Going out to dinner with him is always interesting. He orders salad with blue cheese, Veal , gratin potatoes and cheese cake and I order a salad, dressing on the side, broiled whatever with baked potato andsteamed veggies and no dessert or fruit if available. My cappochino I request low fat milk but if not available I have it with whole milk. Then the conversation from his side of the table is usually a silly comment on my eating habits. I take no statin and my lipids are excellent.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Like my friend the cardiologist who puts all of his pts on a statin and tells them to eat whatever they want. Going out to dinner with him is always interesting. He orders salad with blue cheese, Veal , gratin potatoes and cheese cake and I order a salad, dressing on the side, broiled whatever with baked potato andsteamed veggies and no dessert or fruit if available. My cappochino I request low fat milk but if not available I have it with whole milk. Then the conversation from his side of the table is usually a silly comment on my eating habits. I take no statin and my lipids are excellent.

We are promoting preventive measures, so to me drugs should be last resort, and should be left to the MD's. I think the reason I'm so passionate about it is that drugs are used all too quickly, and most people expect the drug to take over and do the work. I've seen it happen so many times with my clients. As soon as they went on a drug they cut their efforts way down on trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Jacqui Jacquelyn A.

Without ads, they would not be available. . . subscriptions never pay for magazine costs. So, I think it's admirable to avoid drugs, but can the magazine stay in business without one drug ad? Just some thoughts from the other side . . . maybe more RDs should be purchasing ads! ;-) Jan In a message dated 10/30/2008 8:29:40 A.M.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Jacqui, I have to respectfully disagree with your views and opinions. I have to have specific drugs to avoid stroke, regardless of what dietary interventions I've applied or what great eating habits and lifestyles I've had all my life. Why should our customers be different? Digna Re: Eating Well magazine I'm with you Jackie, in theory, but how many RDs are paying for ads to keep the magazine in business.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm just curious, when you recommended that they discontinue certain revenue streams because of potential conflict of interest...did you recommend others as replacements? It's just like nutrition advice, change involving removing one behavior is much easier if you simultaneously provide a replacement behavior to fill the hole. Monika M.
