I just found the following in a recent article on food navigator USA.com:
According to a public opinion survey commissioned by the Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD), 82 percent of Americans think food companies should be making a greater effort to reformulate for more better-for-you products.
Although this is a high percentage, it compares with 90 percent in Britain, 89 percent in Spain and 87 percent in Hungary.
In my opinion this is a very backwards approach to improving health. The answer to eating healthier foods is not asking food companies to add even more things to our food, but rather to question the foods we are already consuming.
You don’t need to add anything to an apple to make it healthy, and there is nothing better for weight loss than eating less food and exercising more.
I’m betting that we will soon see a green-tea enriched white bread.
