Creationist preaching on the wrapper of Thelma's Kokoman breakfast cereal
The Thelma company decided to teach the youth who consume its cereal a little about the world they live in, and among other things, it dedicates the back of the cereal package to describing a variety of details about different countries in the world. One of the packages tells about Kenya, a country blessed with nature reserves and animals.
Indeed, an excellent idea! To instill knowledge in an educational activity instead of encouraging lotteries, or describing the exploits of comic book heroes on the side of a discount for a movie. "God", so they say, "is found in the small details", but sometimes he is also found where he shouldn't be.
Next to the picture of the lion, someone wrote: "See this lion? I think he's planning lunch. Look how he stalks the zebras. Lions live in packs and sometimes you can see them hunting animals for a living."
Many studies have shown that the lions spend most of their time sleeping, and their wives - the lionesses - are the ones who do the job of hunting for them, and even young lions who have been taken from the herd do it without any choice, and believe me, even without particularly advanced knowledge in the natural sciences, it is possible to distinguish between a lion and a lioness. However, today it is generally accepted that the males help in the hunt, certainly the males living alone who also have to take care of themselves. It is estimated that about 80% of the hunting is still carried out by the lionesses.
The bigger problem is precisely in the following sentence: "When you see how each animal has its own special food, since the six days of Genesis, it is impossible not to marvel at the wonders of the Creator." Probably the next step is to publish the phone number of a values organization on the cover, three quarters of the work was done by Thelma for them.
The company Unilever, of which Thelma is one of its divisions, responded: "As for the zoological mistake - thank you very much for bringing it to our attention. We will look into the issue. As for the second comment - we are talking about Kokumen in the OT (and not regular Kokumen) and therefore there is a reference to messages addressed to the religious audience. "
Surfer Adi Sfarchman, who also sent us the cover photo, says that the breakfast cereals in question were purchased at a half-free store in Petah Tikva intended for the general public and not at a store intended for the ultra-orthodox public.

I went through 2 conversions, don't ask why.
And I remain in my belief that the whole creation thing is stupid nonsense for people who want someone else to think for them.
The rabbi said "..."
In the Torah it is written "…."
But try to think of interpretations on their own. God forbid.
unfortunately,
According to the wretched reactions of all the holders of vanity beliefs and especially the ignorant reaction
of commenter #1 we see that this harta is working.
Is this a message to the ultra-Orthodox public?!
Are the ultra-Orthodox children unaware of the "fact" that the world was created in six days?!
So why does Thelma participate in this sad joke?
Organization of Values and Hidberot are two organizations that preach the love of the Jew and the hatred of the gentile.
Shame on the country for having such organizations.
To Michal:
No, I have not heard of secular coercion. Please enlighten my eyes.
To my father:
I have Dawkins' book (after reading the chapter on the science website) and it is an amazing book that strengthened my faith in atheism, I already have a huge list of friends to whom this book is going to go.
I recommend everyone to read it.
And have you heard of secular coercion?!
Heyyyy I love Kukuman...
Father don't worry:
These companies are constantly making mistakes in everything, so what's the wonder that when you make one small mistake they pounce and try to make a soup out of it?
After all, most of what you said is true: there was surrender on Thelma's part and she wrote a lot of nonsense on the cover.
It is also true that she did this to buy the hearts of those who believe in this nonsense (the creation of the world by the flying spaghetti monster five minutes ago - we'll see if they "correct" my words and say no - it's not this monster - it's another monster and it wasn't five minutes ago but a little More).
But none of that is important. If you accidentally write a lion with a spelling error or say that he doesn't hunt (between us - this lion looks like one who takes advantage of a photo-op and does not intend to hunt) they will try to make everyone understand that this is actually the main thing and everything else is trivial. That's how it is with liars.
Strengthens my father. This is such a favor on the part of the ultra-Orthodox that I will never sign an Edi card, lest one of my organs go to a member of an ultra-Orthodox family that refuses to donate organs.
Yoda, before you send me to a seminar on values (A-yena values, xenophobia and some other 'good' values) shall we see you correct your mistakes? Really, the example was taken from the findings in the field, note that the article is two years old, and that the main point was criticism of Thelma who surrendered to the ultra-Orthodox and wrote nonsense. I do not agree that only the ultra-Orthodox have feelings and that they should not be hurt, since it is not allowed to hurt the feelings of religion, the religious do not let us live - the religious Jews in Israel, the fundamentalist Christians in the USA who do not allow evolution to be taught, and the worst of all their Islamic fundamentalists have a worldwide ambition that they want to achieve by the force of terror.
I would recommend you Richard Dawkins's book There Is No God, a chapter from which appeared two weeks ago on the science website. https://www.hayadan.org.il/roots-of-religion-0206087/
the religion Every religion has one goal - to control its believers. Every religion educates its children to brainwash it as if it is the only truth. Every extremist in every religion sees himself as a patrol of humanity, and they are ready to kill each other because one is commanded to open the egg on the sharp side and the other on the crooked side (or the equivalent of these commandments from Gulliver's Travels, in the real religions which are not much more serious).
Before you criticize the fact that the science website only preaches atheism (and that if it weren't for atheism we wouldn't have reached all the scientific achievements), know that it is one of countless ultra-Orthodox websites, missionaries of all religions, followers of the New Age, astrologers to the extent that the people who carry on their shoulders all The world, including feeding 7 billion people - the scientists - are seen as a negative factor. Will we see you managing one day without the modern medicine made possible thanks to evolution (antibiotics, vaccines)?
In short, you are out of luck.
We saw how you reacted after we corrected you. And when you accidentally held it, you barked at Thelma..
Do your homework and let others live their faith.
Maybe one day you will go to a values seminar.. where they will discover to you that there are many things that you don't know even though you think you do.
Thanks to all the commenters both here and in Red Rooms, I accept the correction, and will update the news during the night.
As for the second part about which there are no doubts - the universe is huge, so much so that it takes light 13.7 billion years to cross it, does it make sense that all this was created for us 6,000 years ago?

Tell me, is this a joke?
It is clear that the male lions are also engaged in hunting.
There are individual lions that if not hunted will starve to death and there are males in the pack that sometimes help hunt lionesses.
If you are in the section of checking the inscription on foods, have you checked the futures of bazooka?
Rabek, the ultra-Orthodox don't have to stay in their ghetto and half-free is allowed to sell products intended for the ultra-Orthodox market in order to attract ultra-Orthodox customers.
my heart:
I'm interested in whether you also demand from our police to put the American gangsters in prison
First of all, thanks for the correction.
Second, if you go to the relevant experts (the intelligent design link before the comments) you will see how many criticisms I have of the Americans and their opposition to evolution.
The writer, puffed up with self-importance, probably does not know that although the lioness is the main party, (as with dosim - the woman is the breadwinner) but the lion participates in at least 20% of the hunting, mainly of packs or large animals. Look in encyclopedias, and hop on YouTube to see hundreds of videos where you can clearly see lions hunting. that's how it is. When you are against ultra-Orthodox, you can sound smart even when you have no idea.
And one more thing - I suggest that you write a sharp article against the Americans as well - what is it on their bills that says: In God we believe? Religious coercion at its best!
Also the answer that there is no flying spaghetti monster is as true as it is wrong. We have no proof that such a monster does not exist.
The fact that there is a god is just as true as it is wrong, there is no reason to come down on someone who assumes something that you have no way of contradicting or proving.
It was rejected a long time ago - by Amnon Yitzhak and his men. Not by any real scientist.
come on…
Religious paranoia at its best!
Why do we have to see "religious coercion" in everything.
In every hole you can find Darwin's stupid theory
(which was rejected a long time ago by the best scientists in the world),
And no one complains...
