It's about time!! All I can say is that these companies have gotten away with too much for too long. It is time they come clean. If they want to sell good wholesome food then they better start changing all the ingredients instead of lying and trying to trick the consumer and the consumers need to start reading ALL the fine print they will be shocked and amazed and not for the better.

The many and variuos claims from manufacturers should as far as I'm concerned be taken with a pinch of salt and a spoonful of sugar lol. We have all watched the daft ads claiming this that and the other benefit and no doubt many think the calims are valid to the point of using the product. the example may well be provabl;e in a scientifically sterile study but does the data reflect reality! For example many peopl have no idea that the body needs cholesteral or that every cell in the body is capable of producing the stuff except nerve cells which are ulilisers of the stuff add it to wrinkle cream and rub it on your head or whatever and you will become a two year old billionaire deity or whatever! It was once caculated in the post WW2 period that if you fitted all the petrol saving gadgets that were available then to your car at some point statistiaclly your fuel tank would overflow with the fuel that your economies was producing! Now doesn't that have a familiar ring to some of the so called "green" activities we are encouraged to espouse!
There was a cynical suggestion that if all the relics of the true cross were gatherd together they might be sufficient to furnish a whole street ful of churches! The hype and exaggeration and of course the claims of the uncrupulous in peddling their wares have to looked at closely! There is no such thing as a free meal and the claims made by advertisers even if technically true could well be so miniscule as to be of insignifcant worth or use. In all probabity the polutants in food are more harmful than the benefits claimed as good for you by the variuos manufacturers for their particular product. However that would not stop me eating Coco Pops/Crispies etc occasionally as I quite enjoy them.. Now about that endorsement cheque Mr Kellogg!

Thannxxx.... it's like cheating in an exam... you will always be caught out and fail the exam... they need to do their homework and give us the real answers to what is inside and not on top of the box
