Do “Healthy” Product Names Deliver on their Promise?

While I’m not deluded into thinking these are actual pieces of the veggies listed, it is the kind of snack I tend to buy because of the simple ingredient list.

Well if anyone seriously thinks that they’re going to get out of eating vegetables by picking up a bag of this, then.. well then I just don’t know what. If there were someone out there with that exact line of thinking, I think we should all weep for humanity.

just read an add concerning loosing weight eating African Mangoes, you may order them through this web page, I believe that some or maybe bunch of them are going to believe them and rush to buy the scam.
Dear naive friends,mango is a Mango any where we don’t have to go to Africa to get and eat a delicious Florida Mango, there is not any difference between them. I just know that the ingestion of food in excess, make you fat and I know that in Nazi concentration camps, the people had no African Mango diet, just no food, so my conclusion is less and walk more. You can eat five times a day and loos weight, AHHH, but the secret is what you eat, for example I was over-weight and my blood sugar was very high, my Doctor told me that I must loose weight or loose my life. I decide to live and proposed to my self, ” we are going to eat like rabbits, one portion of mixed salad cooked with chicken or any protein I like boiled with V-8 juicy or similar, ad condiments as you like, I personal like Garlic & Parsley with some Olive Oil, them after the ingredients start to boiling I ad past, ( rigatoni, shells, cannelloni, pene-pasta,linguini,potini, Etc.) you may choose all-wheat or carb-less pasta and this will be the only hot meal of the day, if you feel hungry, take it as a men (women) and drink plenty water, by-the-way, this is the best beverage you can have, also “Te” without sugar with a lemon and just a little of pure honey, after this big meal of the day you can snack one fruit every three ours, at night a cup of soy-milk with chocolate and a piece of wheat bread, no bigger than your fist or two slices of wheat bread. Oh, I forget, at breakfast, a cup of soy milk with espresso coffee, one diet sweetener
omelet, and “barabin-babun” you will loose weight like craze.
together with this diet you must program your inner mind, positively, every day, every hour,every minute like this “subconscious mind, I need your help, kill my hungry pain and make me forget, those days of excess eating, make me strong and happy, make me loose the excess of fat.”
Thanks

I’m not sure I like the better by comparison thinking here. That is exactly what the advertisers are preying on.

There’s really no substitute for real food. Boiled/baked/oven roasted potato, spinach and tomato salad sounds pretty awesome to me…tomato sticks just sound creepy.

I had this experience with my friend yesterday in Target. I was trying to find some munchies for the drive home because I was exhausted from a day of shopping and still had quite a drive ahead of me. I knew the cans of mixed nuts were my most nutritious option, but I was in the mood for something slightly more “naughty.” I was admiring Annie’s Organic snack mixes, well aware that it wasn’t NUTRITIOUS, but at least they were empty calories free of additives and preservatives. Meanwhile, my friend was looking at the other snacks and commenting on how they promised to be “all natural.” I almost choked. I always forget that other people still believe in front-of-box labeling..
