You Want Us to Buy WHAT?

A few weeks ago a friend of mine posted on facebook that he had purchased a 64 oz. bottle of Welch's White Grape Juice, a product I have consumed in the past. When he got home he read the label, which stated: "100% grape juice plus added ingredients." We'll just let that complete lack of mathematical reasoning stand on its own merit.

That same evening I saw an ad on the boob tube that told me Panda Express was "for a limited time" offering Orange Chicken with Bacon. Again I have no arterial clogging comment.

The third and final part of this edible commerce infused rabbit hole came when I went to make dinner in the form of an avocado and sprouts wrap. There were no labels on the sprouts or the avocado I had bought at the farmer's market. But there was a list of ingredients on the "Garden Spinach Herb" wraps. Enriched flour and < 2% spinach seasoning. What exactly was in the "spinach seasoning" was not disclosed. But the green hue of the wraps came from a healthy blend of blue and yellow dyes.
