Radio, no disrespect intended, but I don't think selling "unhealthy" food should be illegal. It's up to the consumer to make a decidions for themself.
I agree to a point lizardlady, consumers should make their decisions for themself. Thing is, consumers have "faith or believe" that what they are buying is good for you. Like the Campbell's noodle soup commercial "When it's time for your child to come in from the cold greet them with a steaming hot bowl of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup TV Commercial, 'Snowman' - iSpot.tv This is just a drop in the hat..

Years ago I'd read the labels and didn't know what half the stuff that was listed, let alone pronounce it.. Guess I believe since it was in a grocery store, it was healthy.. Esp when they advertised as being "healthy"....would always pick the foods that said "healthy and good for you"....

ANYway could go on and on....AND I do agree we are responsible for what we buy and eat....Just is sad that such poor quality products are sold to consumers that believe they are buying good products....
