Smart Choices program

Good morning. Do you ever read something in the news and say, “WHAT??” That’s EXACTLY how I felt when I read about the food industry’s Smart Choices labeling program.

Here is this morning’s audio on Smart Choices labeling.

Okay, here’s the bottom line — they want to convince you that Fruit Loops (with all the dyes, and despite the fact that it is 40% sugar by weight, dear lord) is actually good for you!!

WHAT??

The point I want to make for us is that our Culture of Health creates this, allows this, and even encourages this. It’s one of the factors that surround us and encourage us to make food choice decisions that are terrible for us.

Well, now, and thank goodness, the FDA is looking into the health claims of the food industry people. The FDA suspects that the people foisting Fruit Loops as a health food might be (and this is just complete lunacy I know) MIGHT be misleading into giving our children food that is bad for them … just for their profit margins — gasp, can you imagine?

The Smart Choices are likely not the “Smart Choices”.
