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.

I think it is misguided when it comes from a company that specializes in prepared foods. I feel having it all is prepping fresh foods for yourself and your family if you have one. Also having it all is living the life you really want to live not the one you are forced to live because of the need to make money to survive. I would have it all if I could win that lottery as having money would allow me to live how I want to.
I feel that everyone should be included with this
I appreciate Lean Cuisine's experiment. It is a sad fact that in our society women struggle a lot more with "work/life balance" or "having it all." That's not Lean Cuisine's doing. I think Lean Cuisine is doing something valuable by examining what women want and bringing to light a lot of important insights.
I definitely think not only women but men should of been included in this study. I also think that who you surround yourself with influences your decisions, that's why you should always surround yourself with positive influences.
It is good to have conversation, men should be included too
I don't know, it seems like a lot of drama just to show that people are influenced by their friends. I'm not surprised that it's aimed at women. Women are Lean Cuisine's main target market.
To me #ItAll means that I am in a comfortable place financially and physically. Feeling strong and able to positively influence others in my life.
Not a fan of the whole concept of a company trying to act like they care about anything but their bottom line. Very transparent to me.
I dont feel its misguided i think having all women in it has a purpose to it.I liked it
No, It was good with just women.
I think it's a great start but including men would have been more interesting as well.
I like the concept. Some of the comments are funny because why does one person's version of having #ItAll have to be te same as the next person. I personally don't see the pressure. We are our own individual beings. #ItAll doesn't mean u have to fit society's agenda. Make it yours. So men weren't included :-/ There will always be someone unhappy with something someone does. Can't make everyone happy.
Ehhhhh, it's advertising. They have to make you feel guilty and then convince you that their product is the only one that can solve the problem
I don't quite understand why Lean Cuisine sponsored this 'experiment.' Based on what I saw/heard in the video, I found the whole thing rather ridiculous.
I get it but also am a little frustrated by it. Why is so much pressure put on women to be so thin but not on men?
