Naked Brand Food products (owned by pepsi-co) had something interesting happen to them when someone called them on their misleading labelling... read about it here! 6 Commerials you'll recognize, Can you spot the GREEN WASHING? |
Every once in a while I'll sit down and watch something on TV. I normally hate commercials like everyone else, however recently I've been amazed at some of the messaging in commercials. I've compiled a few videos of some of my "favourite" commercials that are misleading in their messaging.
TELLING LIES MAKES A FARMER'S DAUGHTER MAD
Things like this sometimes make me a little hot under the collar because the message they send is very misleading, and anyone who knows me, knows that I love transparency and integrity when it comes to food. I got to thinking and I've come to think that maybe its a good thing!
The positive spin
MAJOR FOOD = MAJOR CHANGE
If major food manufacturing corporations are selling their products as natural then that means that more and more people are starting to demand more from their food! THAT is exciting!! (now lets just get transparency and then... we're done?) hahah
Check out these videos!
It's almost funny how far they are stretching it, if you know of any more good ones make sure to post in the comments below!

They may start with real ginger... next time check the back of the bottle for the ingredients list. How many of those came out of the ground?
I won't go into grain vs No grain, but just check out how much quinoa is in the "quinoa flax bread" can you spot any GMO's like canola oil or soybean oil. How about sugar products?
Last time I tried to mix hazelnuts, milk and cocoa together... it sure didn't look like this!! Maybe there is more to the story?
Oh hey, guess what ?? PLAIN yogurt does this too, and it doesn't have all the sugar in it, or "natural flavouring"
Favourite quote "made from natural products". If anyone ever finds out what that means please give me a call. As my dad would say "is it natural because it ate food? or why do they think its natural?". Well if those sandwich meats aren't made from the same animals that other sandwich meats are then bobs my uncle. If it is gluten and nitrates your worried about this probably is a better option (among grocery brands, the best is going to your favourite FARMER for gluten free turkey Sausage!, just be careful with what they substitute for those things.
And the FINAL video to top it all off - Im sure we're all smart enough to see through this one! So what does "added" hormones or steroids mean. Is there an acceptable amount, but then you just don't go over that? I'm really confused. What about anti-biotics. Wait is it just the same meat that everyone else uses? You sneaky buggers.. I see what you did there.
All in all - Don't forget you health is your business, nobody else's. Watch out for "Lean washing" and "green washing" and find out what works for YOUR BODY!
