[blparent] Healthy foods

Not advertized as that any more.  They are being sued for false advertizing.
Too much fat and bad oils.

What's wrong with Nutella?  I've never tried it, but it's advertised on TV
as a healthy food--as much as you can believe what's advertised anyway.  The
problem with trying to choose healthy foods for me and my family is that
something is billed as great for you one month, and horrible the next.  For
example, Special K is touted as a healthy food that can help with weight
management, but if you look at the nutrition label, it's got nearly as much
sugar as Frosted Flakes.  And Raisin Bran, which you would think of as
healthy, has more sugar than most of the no-no kid cereals because the
raisins are coated in sugar.  What's up with that?  Raisins are sweet and
good by themselves.  It gets so frustrating, trying to keep ahead of what's
healthy and what's the latest scam.
