Before making it through a second aisle, though, I gave up and came to one, inevitable conclusion: these companies are not trying to make you healthy – they are trying to sell you a product.

Okay, did anyone ever believe anything different? Of course they're trying to sell you a product. That's why companies exist; to sell things and make a profit. If they can't do that, the company will go bankrupt. I'm more saddened by the fact that people buy into this crap than that companies do it in the first place.

Here's some good advice for eating healthy. If you have to ask yourself, "Is this healthy?" ... Don't eat it. It probably isn't.

Still pretty cheapt tactics no matter how you twist it.  There is healthy honest companies out there so I do think it is a big deal.  Obesity is getting ridiculous and while i certainly dont blame the food industry, I blame it on people being lazy.  But I dont think this helps either that they can bend the rules so much and get away with it.  A lot of people dont know how to read labels either so it often times does come down to the name.
