Your First Food Quiz! HEALTH DEATH VALLEY!

[Guest guest]

Yum! " 100% natural " ..... that's good. " 8 grams of whole grain " , uh...that's

good. " Health Valley " .... didn't they just sponsor a bike race? They must be

nice people, right? And we all know that Betty Crocker is baking away over there

at General Mills making us delicious, wholesome food-from-Mom.....

Well, you guys are good, you nailed it. STUPID ME, though, I was at a gas stop

in Nebraska and was amazed to see " health bars " at the Quik Trip so I bought two

of these dopey things. I even bit into one before I read the label (I almost

never do that). That surge of sugar hit me like a wave of dope, and then I knew.

Doah.... It was too late to spit it out but I didn't eat the rest and I have

been showing that label to as many people as possible.

I mean it's one thing to sell cigarettes and booze, even cola, when you say,

" yes, we know this is poison, but if you want to buy poison, we make pretty good

poison... " ! But these guys, seducing innocent or unaware people into thinking

that this is something good! I'm not for government intervention but doesn't it

seem ODD that these people can market junk food candy as " health food " and get

away with it? I counted 7 sources of pure sugar in that thing (30 out of 50

grams are carbs) and two sources of soy. Eight grams of grain, though, woo hoo!

Hey, let's think of truly accurate names for these greedhead companies and begin

circulating them in hopes we hit some good enough to go viral! I'm thinking

GENERAL KILLS BAKERY, PILLSBURY WHEAT-BELLY BOY, BETTY CROAKER for starters,

and of course, some good ones for the evil execs at Hormel.... HORMEL HORMONE

BACON? Please help!

Thanks everyone!
