Food for Thought

I recently saw organic lollipops in the "Natural Food" section of my local grocery store. I started to reach for them. For a split second I was lulled into a sense of, "Oh, well, it says organic so it must be healthy" Hello? McGee, sugar is sugar - it doesn't really matter if its fructose or sucrose or whatever - a lollipop by any other name is just.....well, JUNK FOOD!! Words like natural and organic are used to imply healthy. And thats not always true. Consumers have to be really careful in their choices because advertising and marketing is really sophisticated. And I'm obviously not! It took me a second or two before I pulled my hand back, looked around to make sure no one saw what a sucker I was.
