Why am I not surprised….

….that food labels don’t necessarily tell the whole truth.

“Food fraud” has become big business, and bigger with the introduction of what we’d like to believe is healthier foods.  Big Ag, of course, has moved in to corrupt labels such as “natural” and “organic” and just about every box or bag of processed foods contains stuff that’s not on the label and is not good for you.

Food blogger Dr. Joseph Mercola has the story here.  Important reading but I’m at a loss as to how to protect ourselves.  Oh, right.  Buy from a local farmer you know.

Anyone who still believes the government is protecting you from this stuff, please move to the back of the blog!
