It's true - advertising 101 - why should we have the audacity to think that manufacturers care about providing a healthy food choice? It's not in their economic vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is always $, so if there is another way for the food industry to continue making money and doing it in a healthy way, they might take note and do so. However, they will then have to be the ones to push these new, healthier products to consumers and they are certainly good at manipulation.
