[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 358116, member: 44622"] I remember the man being interviewed on TV about the eggs he sold. After a while his eyes brightened and he said, "Oh you want me to put Free Range on the box". It didn't seem to matter to him if the eggs were produced by battery hens so long as the box had free range written on it. The retailer had discovered that the truth didn't matter providing you put some words on the front of the box to catch the eye. A lot of products have "Low Fat" written on them and others have "Reduced Salt" and these sell. Not many people turn the box over to read the pretty coloured label. One line on food in a supermarket is "Healthy Eating" whatever that means. I fear that asking a retailer to put "Diabetic" on labels will be a ploy to sell more junk rather than to help us in any way. In any case most of us are still finding out what is acceptable for diabetics and I for one would feel uncomfortable to take the advice of a supermarket. Recent events have vindicated my opinion of processed food sold by supermarkets so I would like to continue to buy recognisable food and cook it myself. [/QUOTE]
