Dear Geaux,

Completely agree that "Common sense is not so common. - Voltaire

However, food labeling is meant to confuse the consumer not educate us. I had cancer at age 38 and thought I was eating "healthy" and had no idea about America's fake food supply. (I encourage you to see the movie FedUp.)

Our gym teacher displays a board with the product label and baggie of sugar that's in the soda, sports drink and carton of chocolate milk. Imagine how many schools would stop serving chocolate cow's milk when the mom's see the amount of sugar but here's the crazy part. Water isn't allowed on a school lunch menu as a choice because the Federal government sees no nutritional value in water. Now, I wonder what industry got three types of cow's milk on the lunch menu but not water?

Yes, "common sense is not so common" especially when we're being duped!

Soda = candy in a carton / chocolate cow's milk = candy in a carton / sports drinks = candy in a container

Best health always,
Supermom-in-training
