Are YOU a Sucker for Marketing? Quick 3-Question Test!

in life •  7 years ago 

Question #1

When you buy a food product in the grocery store and it has the word NATURAL on its label does it mean:

  1. This food has no artificial ingredients, pesticides or genetically engineered organisms, OR
  2. Does NATURAL mean absolutely nothing at all?

Question #2

When you see a label which reads, "No Sugar Added", does it mean:

  1. There are no added sweeteners in the product OR
  2. There is no added "white sugar", but the company can still sweeten its product using brown rice syrup, agave nectar, molasses, stevia, aspartame, and sucralose. Yes, those items have to be listed in microscopic print among the ingredients, but the front of the package can BOLDLY proclaim "No Sugar Added."

Question #3

According to a recent Class-Action lawsuit brought against Nestle, when you buy Poland Spring Water

  1. You are purchasing high-quality spring water which comes from an underground formation and is bottled after it has naturally made its way to the surface or
  2. Are you being charged premium prices for water which has probably been taken from common, every day, groundwater wells?

For those of you who really want to know, the answers to all of the questions are "2."

Disappointing, isn't it?

Now, what about Organic?

There is a sucker born every minute!!! Just make food from scratch. If it's processed, it's a 'chemical shitstorm'.

Cyanide, since it contains carbon, is "organic", and rabies is "all natural".
