When truth in advertising isn’t enough
Talk about your ridiculous law suits:
NPR : Cereal Companies Sugarcoat Claims?
It’s not good enough that they never made any claim that their product was “healthy”. Apparently by making and marketing a product with less sugar, they are open to law suits because some idiot woman assumes “less sugar == healthy”.
Read the label, stupid woman. There’s a reason why the “high sugar” cereals have the same amount of carbs as the “healthy” cereal. There’s a huge difference between carbs from whole grain oat and carbs from refined sugar.
If they lie in their marketing, sure, sue them. If they simply say “less sugar”, don’t turn off your critical mind and assume they’re saying “healthy”.
