Oh, Jesus! This is just pathetic

Read it and weep for the loss of integrity.

(I used the category Food for this. It really should be "Food".)

    I don’t know if you saw my 4th installment in the Axiom series, but it fits very well in this case: Steve’s Fourth Axiom: “Truth and money make very incompatible bedfellows”.

    But there’s nothing new here. We are swamped by “strategic alliances” geared to disguise corporate bullshit and marketing for authoritative truth. Just look at the Health Check fiasco, where they are giving the Health Check tick-mark to all manner of junk food because it’s low-fat, or high in Omega-3, despite also being loaded with sugar.

    And don’t many professional associations already endorse products? I’m thinking here of the American Dental Association and its approval of various toothpaste brands.

    But at the end of the day, it really does come down to the individual taking responsibility for getting at the truth. Unfortunately, the sophistication of the marketing and deception is well beyond the intelligence and eductaion of many (if not most) people.
