- Common sense should tell people that processed, frozen, boxed food is not healthy. To many people want short cuts when it comes to cooking meals. I eat the way I was raised, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit. The only things I buy in a box are oatmeal and spaghetti noodles. I do not buy anything frozen or processed.

- I agree with those who say we need to get back to home cooking. So many people these days either buy fast food or eat out most of the time. It is less expensive to cook for yourself, and healthier as well. Go to your library or local bookstore and get yourself a cookbook. It's not difficult to learn the basics of cooking.

- Choices. Ask your child if he or she knows what a beet looks like, or rhubarb? We have chosen to put our lives in the hands of the corporate greedy. We have been enslaved with economics and even where we live we have no time and no space to grow our own healthy organic foods. Even our homes have overseers called HOA where if we wanted we couldn't grow fruit and vegetables. Just eat and be merry for tomorrow you die. If the food doesn't kill us, the medical problems we have from it will. Don't forget that every pill the doctor gives us has so many after effects that are more dangerous than the illness we're going to die from the medicine anyway.

- As usual, when capitalists tell consumers what to think, capitalists get rich and consumers are worse off.
Smart Choice is another example where capitalists try to tell consumers what to think when deciding what food to buy and eat.
This is why those who favor consumers like government. There is no profit in telling the consumers the truth, and the only loser will be the capitalist who can't find something worthwhile to sell.
Keeping addictive ingredients out of food and insisting food actually is nutritious was the biggest motivation in forming the FDA.
Never trust a capitalist to give consumers their education. - Reply to this comment

- Read the INGREDIENTS, the rest is smoke and mirrors.
Go online and teach yourself what real food & good nutrition means.
Make a hobby out of it; well worth your time. - Reply to this comment
- We deserve to know where it is made and where the ingredients come from. Instead we get a generic statement that includes nothing about country of origin, such as Distributed by xyz New Brunswick, NJ.
That tells us nothing. - Reply to this comment

- Stop fooling yourselves. Look how the tobacco industry lied and killed US citizens in the name of profit. At least now the truth is out. The food industry is NO DIFFERENT. High fructose corn syrup in everything from cereals to bread. Kids get addicted to sugar leading to overweight and diabetes. Can you get them to stop using artery blocking hydrogenated oils. NO! Artificial sweeteners. Just use raw sugar and cut back in the use of it. It is just what you get used to. Vegamite is popular in Australia. Have you ever tried it? Brewers yeast extract used as a spead on toast etc. Bitter awful taste unless you were raised on it. The food industry pays off congressman so Congress does not act in the interest of what is good for consumers. It is all about politians being paid off by the food industry so they can make more profits off of the health of Americans by extending hooking them on sugar and extending shelf life in the stores. Stop complaining America. You still do not mind filling your gas guzzlers with oil and sending hundreds of billions of your dollars overseas.

- The 10 large food manufacturers should be FINED heavyly. They say and I quote "Food manufacturers say just because a product contains sugar doesn't make it bad."
And when they load up more salt in their products than in other countries, its OK.
FINE THE BIG CORPS for leading us Americans astray with their SELFISHNESS. - Reply to this comment
