We don’t watch TV so the only place we get inundated with food advertising is at the grocery store. Thankfully, I ignore most of it. But WOW.

This is a tough subject for me because, in general, I’m always on the side of free speech. That said, I’m starting to think that the best kind of health claims on food labels are none at all. That way, no one gets hit with unsubstantiated health claims, and everyone would have to do their own research into what is healthy and what isn’t instead of just trusting labels.

Imagine what that would look like!

Thanks for sharing this in today’s Fight Back Fridays carnival.

Glad the gov is calling them on it.

Their comparison group was kids who ate NO breakfast. A cardboard box would make kids more alert compared to not eating. Glad the gov is finally cracking down!
