What are we to stupid in the Midwest for it to have any effect on us? In fairness, the labels say "known to the State of California to cause cancer." So it causes cancer everywhere, but only California knows it. 3 Quote My band -- My acoustic stuff -- Blog -- Instagram Link to comment
Guzzi Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 personally I love the way that people will be convinced a product is "healthy" by the way it's packaged. We have a product over here called Nature Valley bars, it's got the word nature in its title, the wrapper is green with a picture of fields of corn on it, it's gotta be healthy - right? The fact that it's incredibly high in sugar isn't important, now is it! 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
DyDy Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Ugh, I really hate that kind of false advertising. Usually, if it is processed, it is mostly crap. 1 Quote Epic Quest Character | Battle Log Challenges: #1 Link to comment

They pay people lots of money to fool you like that with their packaging and marketing. It's just that we aren't being taught from a young age to think for ourselves any more, lol!

I still eat granola bars or breakfast bars sometimes but I'm under no illusion that they're anything other than little sugar bombs. Same with yogurt, even the Greek kind, and especially the kind marketed to children. I work in the food manufacturing industry and know aaaaaaall about making packaging convey a specific message to the consumer. Food packaging is serious business for most of these companies.
