Little Debbie and IM ChooChoo

Seriously, is this the image we should be portraying—a crap, processed, dessert food as a headline sponsor for one of the premier fitness/endurance events out there? What's next, NAMBLA sponsoring the kids' fun run? 

 

Pathetic.

Nothing wrong with an occasional Oatmeal Creme Pie, or the manufacturer sponsoring an athletic event. It's not like it's a tobacco company sponsoring tennis.

Add in some beef jerky and you've got yourself a Clif Bar.

Admittedly the Clif bar is bigger.

I don't see it as a big deal
Bud Light used to sponsor Ironman
and a lot of other races around the country.
Budweiser is not so good for you in large quantities.
Hope they pass out nutty bars on the run.

In contrast with the healthiness of Ironman Perform?

I participate only in races where the event, organizers, sponsors and locale are vetted as ethically sound, organically grown, vegan, cruelty-free, LGBT friendly, environmentally thoughtful and race/age/ethnicity/gender-neutral.  Out of the thousands of triathlons in the country, I found one super-sprint 1200 miles away that matches my stringent standards.  It costs $475.

I am at peace because I race in the right race (on my $8000 carbon bike, built by teen Chinese workers making about $1/hour, and flying to the remote locale using planes and automobiles to pump tons of CO2 into the atmosphere as I litter the countryside with non-degradable plastic bottles from my sugar water, CO2 cartridges and gel wrappers, all while I stare wantonly at the chiseled bodies of the female racers with unchecked thoughts.  And man, my 32 ounce steak and donut that I ate for a celebration dinner tasted really good washed down with a cold beer made by Mexican prisoners).

Seriously, the Little Debbie association at IMCHOO only makes it more attractive to me.

 

Originally posted by sheesleeva agree. big deal if they have Little Debbie as a sponsor. all the nutrition bars aren't particularly great for you and everyone indulges in chocolate now and then. it's a great reward for the training. you workout so you can indulge - and I too want nutty bars on the run. that's would be sooooo good!

I use their Oatmeal Cream Pies as training food a lot.
