The frozen food company, Lean Cuisine, recently conducted an experiment to see how women make life decisions. The "#ItAll" campaign found that women make different choices when they are alone versus with supportive friends.
Though Lean Cuisine tried to show that they are supportive of women, the campaign, along with the video they released about it, has caused some serious backlash on social media.

Some things are misguided in my opinion. Everyone should have been included.
I think we are seeing the death rattles of the horrible patriarchy we have all lived under - and that has gone on for millennia now. It is going to take quite a while for it to be thoroughly washed out of the system, and sometimes even goodhearted people don't know how they are still perpetrating it.
I think I can see where Lean Cuisine was coming from, however I don't care for the ad campaign. I think it is promoting gender stereotypes, and I also think it's weird for Lean Cuisine to try to make money from playing up the unrealistic demands on women.
I don't think wanting a lot out of life is a male or female issue. It's a human issue, so by all means let the men join in.
It's good to have this conversation. They should have talked more about trade-offs or sacrifices if one does have "it all," as part of a balancing act.
Include all that want to have a lean cuisine.
I don't see any issue with this experiment.
I loved this. It shows how women can be a great support with one another. You can never truly have it all, but you can experience it to the full, by appreciating yourself and loved ones. Lean cuisine just sponsored this. I think they should try this separately for men.
I think anything that opens a dialogue, whether it's a contentious point or not, is a positive. All people, not just women, need to know what they want in their lives and have the support necessary to have #itall.
I definitely think people wouldn't be so upset by it if the experiment would have also included men.

We all have too much to do, we all do. Hard to make choices
I didn't see anything diet related in the video. To m it was all about making choices. Different people want different things and there's no right or wrong answer because at the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror. Be someone you want to see.
I agree it is good message and should be for everyone
It depends on the person
