does anyone else in the u.s. remember seeing ads trying to say that high fructose corn syrup was healthy because it had corn?
-
It's so funny how all company responses are so vague
-
Hardcore canadian offensiveness: "Sorry, your label is lousy" Thems fightin' words
-
I hate wonder bread but how is their label misleading? The label says "White bread with fibre". That's exactly what the product is. If they had claims something like "white bread with the nutrition of whole grain" then sure.
-
"Nutrition has been the driving force behind kellogs since 1906." 100 years later and still trying..
-
How about: if its packaged and doesn't look like a real food that grows or walks/swims assume its bad for you. Wtf happened to apples and bananas for snacks instead of nutrigrain bars?
-
I like how she asks Erica "what do i give my kid now" and she ignores it, i wish they gave healthy alternatives
-
Anyone with a brain wouldn't fall for this marketing. How can sugar coated multi-color cereal be healthier than a fried egg.
-
Always hated the nutrigrain bars. Literally just sugar. They always made my stomach hurt.
-
I wish I could get your show here in the states. I’ve watched almost 30 episodes on YouTube so please keep them coming! I’m so tired of corporations taking advantage of people who don’t either have time to research their claims or just don’t know how to look into tings! You guys are doing great work! Thank you
-
Real healthy food shouldn't even have labels.
-
Haha wait, were we eating pizza pockets for health? Haha
-
That bread label wasn't lousy at all.... it clearly described the product. It didn't claim to be whole grain, it clearly said WHITE bread with fiber.
-
"Nutrition has been the driving force behind Kellogg's since its founding in 1906." You do know the guy who invented Kellogg corn flakes as a way to stop masturbation, right?
-
I died laughing at the "Praeventia" cookies 😂😂 prevent heart attacks with heart shaped cookies. LOL
-
Nature is full of "unpronounceable" chemical names.
-
I love what you all do. I wish someone here south of the border would do a show like yours, but it seems they are all afraid of losing sponsors.
-
pro tip....buy food with one ingredient and make your own soup
-
So the wonder bread had fiber and advertised that it had fiber (not that it was whole grain) - how is that a lousy label?
-
Marketplace's reveals makes me want to grow my own food, grow my own cookies, grow my own bread, grow my own fishes :v
