Americans confused about what to eat, but why?

Excerpt:
By Deborah Kotz, Globe Staff
I wasn't surprised by a survey released this week by the American Heart Association showing Americans are woefully ill-informed about two things that affect their heart-disease risk: salt and alcohol. While more than three-quarters of the 1,000 folks the AHA surveyed knew that wine was good for their heart, less than a third knew the recommended daily limit -- four ounces of wine for women and eight ounces for men.

My reply to the post:
Why are "we" confused on what to eat?

Ummm...why does the American Heart Association allow a "little red dress" on every diet coke can "in support of women's heart health programs." Hmmmm....and "they" wonder why WE are confused? 

America (and her children) has never been fatter or sicker and strangely we can't seem to figure out why.
