Juno Talks Turkey

I don’t get a lot of celebrity ads.

For instance, it’s beyond me why Cisco has hitched their wagon to Ellen Page. Is she a closet networking genius?

I mean, at least get one of the faux dorks from The Big Bang Theory or Attack of the Show’s Olivia Munn if you want to appeal to both casual observers and Interweb cognescenti.

Page, however, comes off as refreshingly blunt in some recent Take Part spots:

The advocacy campaign seeks to build on the popularity of Oscar-nominated Food, Inc. by challenging people to take full responsibility of their eating habits and challenge the status quo of commercial food production.

To that end, Page also weighs in on healthy school lunches and local farmers markets.

Activist eating?

Now, that’s something an indie film starlet MIGHT know something about.
