people see "healthy" and think its all good food...maybe if it was made by a mom & pop place it can be...but if its mass produced, then odds are it may look like lettuce, taste like lettuce, smell like lettuce....but it isnt just lettuce...
i posted a while back the true ingredients of the Big Mac song...surprising that two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun was half a page for a post...

Yes, there is a lot of misdirection in food advertising and a lot of "damage control" style of propoganda out there. Lots of companies are trying to cash in on the "natural and healthy" craze now, like Kraft's new salad dressings, but it doesn't mean the product is actually better for you to eat.
Proper food used to take up 30% of a family's budget. Are we heading back to that level, in order to pay for real, healthy calories? Would that be a good or a bad thing? I have no idea.
