Purchased a Naked Juice Lately? You might have $45 bucks coming your way...

Seems Naked Juice (a PepsiCo Company) has been using the term "all Natural" when (ahem) that might not be the case...

Link to Naked Juice class action lawsuit to claim your $45 bucks (and $75 with receipts).  

p.s. Thanks to Fooducate for spreading the word.

p.s. disappointed to see "candy-in-a-can" advertisement.

p.s.s. Had the opportunity to attend the event - it was incredible.  The "candy-in-a-can" company that sponsored the event made an announcement that a certain percentage of sales goes to the American Diabetes Association.  My husband and I thought that was (sadly) hysterical.

Non GMO + Dairy Free =  Delicious!

My husband discovered these and has me hooked too.

My comment:

A "little red dress" to "support" heart health can also be found on diet coke cans...

p.s. So true MimiME - a friend showed me how to dry the oregano and thyme (both from other friend's gardens) and now we have herbs all New England winter long.  You need barely any space, plant them, and watch 'em grow.  

Hmmmm...heart-healthy?

Fascinating: Fooducate Blog - Marketing to Kids: What Every Parent Should Know

Here's my response:

Terrific post! Haven't been to a MacDonald's in probably 10 years and took our 13 year old son through the window after a late baseball game. He ordered a medium french fries and it came in a big red box. I said, "Oh, they gave you a large by accident." He said, "this is the medium." The portion was huge! At least twice as big as what I remember as a kid.

Is this "medium" the extra large from 20 years ago?

Had a niece lose over 70 pounds when she stopped drinking the high calorie, nutritionally void frozen drinks - she had no idea that one drink was nearly a day's worth of calories. (She also changed to much better eating habits when she discovered what she was really eating and drinking.)

Any one else find it strange that America (and her children) have never been fatter or sicker and we can't seem to figure out why?

Looking forward to reading your book the Spring of 2014.

Best health always,

All hooks have barbs removed and are catch and release -

Be back soon....

Forgot how hilariously funny this movie is...

True story:  the morning I first watched this movie, I was informed that water can not be served with children's school lunches because "the Federal Government sees no nutritional value in water."  Hmmm...wonder what interest group is fighting to keep a carton of chocolate candy on the lunch tray?
