Food Labels
Whats up with food labels? I go to the store and I see something that says "98% fat free". That language is misleading, what it really means is 2% fat. If something said 50% fat free, its still 50% fat. Its wording designed to hide that it is still somewhat unhealthy. Although I admit it is a good idea, I wouldnt have realized it unless I thought about it. Clearly this is a tactic to make food sound healthier.

yeah i never thought of it that way
quite profound.
I guess you're right. Just another lie to sell something.
I have a question????? what do you think about the jonas Brothers???
Totally. I noticed that about the labels too. It's right up there with pricing something at £1.99 instead of £2 to make it look cheaper.
(Though I read on the BBC that a lot of shops don't do that anymore, because people's brains automatically "translate" it to £2, along with some other reasons.)
