Fat Free! All Natural! Low Fat! Zero Calories! Organic! Light! Sugar Free! No preservatives!
When you’re walking down the aisles of your supermarket the amounts of health claims screaming from the shelves are staggering. Everything from candy bars to sodas are now claiming to be healthier and it has become increasingly confusing to figure out just what these claims even mean.
Heard around the aisles:
“This light triple fudge ice cream sundae snack is lighter than…what, exactly?”
“Organic means that they didn’t use pesticides right? Or is it hormones?”
“If this is all natural then why did it just take me 3 minutes to read through the ingredients?”
“Isn’t water supposed to be fat free?”
