Watch Out for Food Adjectives...That's How They Getcha

Fooducate reminds us of the reality of the world we live in: front of package labeling is not about health or nutrition, it is about selling you the product. 

In their recent post--Dieters More Likely to be Duped by Food Labels--they show us how some people can be led astray from their own good efforts to eat healthfully by the use of carefully placed words by marketers.
