Just Because the Package Says it Doesn't Make it True

As, I wrote here: http://losingweightafter45isabitch.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-step-away-from-box.html, no matter what the claim is on the box, eating processed foods will make you fat.

This article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-f-jacobson/packaged-deceit-how-dieta_b_217388.html further discusses how deceptive weight loss and health claims on manufactured foods are.

If you really want to lose weight, and keep it off, you have to break your addictions to food that is manufactured, and focus on eating real fruits and vegetables. You're much better off weight loss wise(and will probably won't be as hungry afterwards) eating 100 calories worth of grapes, than that 100 calorie back of Nabisco thin crisps (even if it does say no trans fats). Plus, you're more likely to get the nutrients your body needs from the grapes making you healthier to boot.
