Hi all!
So this is ME checking in with YOU to see if you have been duped this week in your quest for health. Remember this post? In short, I was trying to get you to shop consciously and not fall prey to those wellness claims. Fancy advertising promising health inside of a margarine container? I think not.
I’ll get my Omega 3’s elsewhere, thank you very much.
Surely you all have been shopping in the past week. Did anyone pay attention? Anything to report?
Well, regardless of whether or not you are ignoring me…
This caught my eye the other day.
Gluten free? Sorry gluten free lovers out there, but this can be such a scam.
Yah, let’s eliminate gluten and add a ton of sugar to the package…that’s the ticket to health.
Here is another example of trickery masked as a vegetable…
Unsuspecting consumer says, “Ooooh.. sweet potatoes. Those are the good ones. I’ll buy these muffins because I heard that I should be eating more sweet potatoes from the Dr. Oz show.”
Do you see any sweet potato in this list? There is some, but in miniscule amounts. Squint your eyes a bit and it’s in the middle of those ingredients listed as sweet potato powder. hmmm….not feeling the veggie in this thing.
What did you find??
To close, I’ll leave you with a quick video that is witty and does an awesome job on false advertising and the words “all natural.”
Hate videos?
Just watch okay? It’s only 4 minutes, you can get back to your Facebooking in a second.
