[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1499574, member: 408573"] No doubt we will see advertising that includes the message about high fat content being the healthy alternative to sugar (?) I was recently watching a particular TEDmed talk on diabetes, the gentleman said that a good rule of thumb was to buy foodstuffs that were not advertised on TV, after all, he said broccoli growers can't afford to advertise. I have cooked from scratch for almost my entire adult life refusing to eat orange food from orange boxes simply because the blurbs never tell the whole story of what is in that 'food'. I trusted Monsanto when they said aspartame was a safe alternative to sugar and then I learned the truth so now I refuse to buy anything that I can't identify as having a completely natural source i.e anything that has a number instead of a name or that has a scientific name that one has to google. Obviously, I can only take this so far. I cannot control how many antibiotics my non organic beef mince has in it etc but I can scan the organic/soil association produce in search of offers on price.
