Eat to Death

Is whole wheat bread really 'whole wheat"? All one need do is label the bread 'wheat bread'. Now it can be white bread with molasses. But you would 'assume' it is whole wheat bread. Lying that is legal.

How much sugar is in that food? Fructose, dextrose, sugar, sucrose, and corn syrup are all nothing more than sugar. So we list something nutritious first in the list, then list all the above names. Therefore you don't know a product is nearly 100% sugar. Just another legalized game that companies play.

I have yet to see Apple Juice that is really apple juice anymore. Peter Jennings made this woefully obvious in a special report on nutrition. The man who made pure sugar taste like apple juice was all but begging you to learn what he did. The family joke was how that entire house and furniture was financed on apple juice that is really 100% sugar. Again, he was begging the viewer to learn why he is so rich - begging you to not fall for the scam that made him rich - legally.

Consumer Reports demonstrated same with a cover story report about Beechnut - in Ft Washington PA - just down the road from The Cellar - that literally counterfeitted infant apple juice.

I don't for one minute anymore believe a label that says 100% juice. Yes, juice with all nutrition removed and just the sugars remaining. It could be truly juice or it could be factory reprocessed into pure sugar. How do we know? Where do we get honest facts from food industry manufacturers anymore now that Beechnut could even mislabel foods - even sell chalk as infant formula - and executives not go to jail. Because so many deny this - 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management - then foods can now be filled with sugar - and we never know.

The problem being we have no reason to trust those labels - because congressmen are so easily bought and paid for. Because George Jr demonstrates why lying for personal gain is legal and acceptable.

When it comes to suspicious products, include Beechnut and Kellogg. Gerber and General Mills have much better reputations. Does that mean every product from those first companies are misrepresented? Of course not. But misrepresenting sugar as nutrition is acceptable in the food industry. And then we have fools who think they will solve their defective diets with pills - ie phen fen. With citizens wanting to be lied to, no wonder we elect congressmen who are politically correct (liars) rather than honest men. Our president and waist lines tell a sad story.
