False Advertising

And yet another article regarding products with "Healthy" and "Natural" labels, meaning absolutely...NOTHING.

How could there be no rule that the words actually have to have some MEANING?

How is this not false advertising?
Check out the NYT article here!

Consumers should not NEED to read the ingredients of every food product out there, but we do.

Consumers should not NEED to know the ingredients of an apple... and we DON'T!

Unless you are able to get the content list of the ingredients of an apple (non-organic), you will be shocked reading the long list of pesticides and other contaminents. I was read this long list while in school for nutrition and every person in the room was stunned to hear that the list being read was for an apple. It sounded like a bag of Doritos chips or something!

I am sounding off, stating that it is unethical to suggest something to people that is simply not true. Manipulating parents into thinking they are buying something healthy for their children because the food product says "Natural," or that it has necessary vitamins and minerals even though it has 50g of sugar added is just WRONG and shouldn't be legal.
Companies should feel the wrath that they can't get away with lying to consumers like this.
