You remember that big anti-organic food study last week? Guess who funded it.

88. It's not an insult

That's what the marketing is targeted at.

"There is no need to go to the Australian outback to eat healthy food rather than the junk sold in supermarkets."

I made no implication that bush tucker is "healthy". It is no more or less healthy than any other food is merely by implication of origin. People can live on a variety of foods, "natural" is no guarantee of anything.

"Do you have any objection to the labeling of foods so that we grown adults in this country actually know what we are eating?"

Nope - I have an objection to assumptions that it is possible to delineate ingredients into "natural/healthy" and "artificial/unhealthy" categories.

"And why do you think the US refuses to inform the public about what is in the food they are eating?"

Because your politicians are completely spineless in the face of large food corporations.

Believe me I am not saying that by any means mass food production is without problems but you are kidding yourself if you think "organic" is a magic word that will make it all good.

So like I say branding to make people feel better without necessarily accomplishing anything in particular.
