    If it doesn't have calories, fat, sugar, or carbs.. is it still considered food?

    Just be aware that at the end of the day, fake food is NOT satisfying. When you eat healthy foods and include enough good fat, good carbs, lean protien, and plenty of fiber you will feel satisfied on the number of calories your body actually needs.

    Right....it's liquified plastic for all I know. I like real food I guess.

    I saw the ice cream syrups at the grocery store and it just sounded too scary.
    I'd rather eat real food than some completely modified "calorie free" magical unicorn 'food'

    I've tried the dressings. Some are alright. I use them basically to add moisture to my healthy salads. I have also tried the mayo- not mayo! It's horrible! The jams taste very processed and extremely fake because, well, they are. Lol! The ketchup can pass for ketchup I guess.

    NO....if doesn't have carbs, fat, sugar or nutrition I would not consider it food :) Food is good. Whole grains, colorful fruits and vegetables, good fats, nuts and avocadoes, lean protein......why would you want to eat something that is nothing instead of eating real food?

    Eeekk! The ingredients list must read like a science experiment! I read 'free from' as 'substituted with'.

    THE COMPANY mainly makes sauces. dips, salad dressing,etc.. ya know stuff like that so that when u want to add something onto ur food..i should really say (condiments) in the above sentence. but yeah, its not exactly food eat, yes we need carbs,proteins and fat. lets check it out before we say something negative.

    Also, I think they're probably playing on the "less than xx cals is considered 0 cals" rule. Which means 1 serving still has a few calories and if you add servings up, who knows how many cals you finally end up eating?

    Condiments = food

    Iceberg lettuce is only ten calories and 2 carbs a cup, with a small amount of fiber and vitamins, and a lot of water. If I'm looking for food that is negligible, I'll eat that. If I want a dip or salad dressing I'll eat the real thing and deal with the consequences.
