I agree. Expecting people to read the fine print and make well-thought-out, rational decisions every time they pick up a package of something that is specifically designed to play on preconceived ideas and be as addictive as possible is just not fair. Especially when it comes to junk food packaged to sell as real food, not as a snack.
Very interesting article, PamNY, thanks.
