@mattrosenman: Here are 5 food label tricks to look out for… Some of these can absolutely be legitimate. A multigrain food is in fact multiple grains, and no sugar added might be something you look for and want. But that doesn’t mean companies aren’t still taking advantage of those claims knowing how they are perceived. Natural flavors is one of the worst offenders out there, but the serving size manipulation is the thing that drives me the craziest. What else you got?
To me the no sugar added is code for artificial sweeteners and that is even worse from my perspective.

I prefer “no added sugar” to zero sugar cause then the likelihood of it having artificial sweeteners is lower. I can’t stand the taste of them, I’d rather a less sweet but still regular sugar version

Genuine question here, I get that it's fake, but are "natural flavors" actually as bad for your health as I hear online?

“Artisan” “glp-1 friendly” “all natural” “made with real ingredients” “authentic recipe” …all these, amongst others, always seem to have that baseless health halo

that's why you should read past the front of the pack. check the nutrition facts, always.

Lenny and Larry protein cookies put a serving calories and a full cookies worth of protein on the front. That’s what taught me to check the nutrition facts

American marketing is, in fact, much worse than what we have in Russia, but I love how the "nutrition facts" label contains so much info. in Russia it's just Calories, Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats.

I have used your series in my media class with 13 yr olds and getting them to market an unhealthy food as a healthy option. I am hoping they realise that the tricks they are using are being used on them (yes I do explicitly teach this)

“Made WITH real….”. I hate this. It can be 1% that ingredient and they can use it

i feel like no added sugar is not misleading, natural sugars and added sugars are very different in terms of health

I literally saw a Roku TV the other day that read in huge text: 40" Series - and under it in tiny text it read: 39.5" measured diagonally - Basically, labels are always a lie

i bought basmati rice earlier and gluten free was hilighted on the front of it (the reason why my mum bought it) which confused me because its rice… rice dont usually contain gluten so i was a bit confused why gluten free was stated on the front of it
