Many users are often fooled by packaging. They see the junk food and other foods they like to eat, or they even see healthy foods that they think are more healthy therefore spending money on these products thinking that they will lose weight, obtain better health, or otherwise see serious benefits. One of my personal favorites is the “free run” eggs. There are no regulations surrounding free run chickens. They do put them in cramped spaces otherwise. But that doesn’t mean that they are not cramped in free run farms. It means that they could literally get an extra inch of space in their small cages and that could be called free run.
If you are skeptical, try contacting your favorite seller thereof to ask them what their conditions are. They will often tell you they don’t provide the chickens with many things you would think they would, and they will have a list of excuses a mile long. But there are others like the organic junk food, which claims that it is “USDA organic.” You see organic and assume healthy. So you buy it, Annie’s is actually a classic line of this kind of product. The reality is it often has just as much fat and otherwise as other competitors. The second is those that claim to have 25, 50, or even 90% less fat than their competitors.
This does not mean that they don’t use the fats or otherwise, it means they use artificial fats that your body cannot process and can actually cause various side effects. And they still have the same old fats and fillers anyway. Plus they may also replace that fat with sugar, other empty calories that will turn into fat. Third, there’s the claim about “no trans-fats.” Essentially speaking, trans fats have really been cracked down upon by the government for a reason. Just about nobody uses trans fats, let alone in significant amounts, and this basically tells you that they have other types of fats they are not mentioning.
