Although this cartoon is funny, the subject is not:
Companies have spent a LOT of time and effort trying to hide ingredients and additives that are just not good for the body. As a consumer, it is up to you to pay attention and do the best you can to limit your exposure to chemicals – many of which are not necessary to most food items anyway.

My biggest beef – pun intended? High Fructose Corn Syrup. It has replaced good old sugar in a LARGE majority of products. And it is NOT good for you – especially if you are a woman.
