Let’s get something straight, even if consumers don’t want to hear it.

All that matters to the mega-agri-business corporations production processes is sales & marketing. Also, always controlling the marketing messages. Our guts are out of the picture.

So if any processed packaged food product has all kinds of nice mentions like, no this & that, or, natural this & that, all that soft ad fluff is really meaningless. If it sells the ad messages work, done. Mission accomplished.

Additives? Food labs probably have a queue of new additives and names a mile long that essentially are the same old additives, chiefly salt & sugar or any additive that can mimic these 2 basics, all ready to go!

I’m so sorry all that matters is sales numbers and the subsequent marketing message controls. It’s not like grandma is making ANYTHING from scratch, no it’s conveyor belts, additives all along that product processing for ANY mass produced product.

Think I’m over negative? Go to the store, bring your camera phone and start taking ingredients pictures from any aisle in the grocery store. Read the ingredients and weep. Oh, good luck deciphering all those long latin looking words pulled out of some lab techs backside, also, notice how the ingredients can be the same whether you are in the soap, bread, or pre-packaged-anything aisles.
