I have seen a rash of this lately. Perhaps it is because I read labels closer now. The most recent flagrant abuse of advertising came on a package of fudge stripe cookies at my mother’s house. In great big bold letters it proclaimed to be “Sugar Free”. In font too small for elderly diabetic eyes to read was something along the lines “this is not a reduced calorie product” or some such thing. Why such … Sugar Free Products That Aren’t Sugar FreeRead more
