Whenever you see the words "Sugar-Free, Low-Fat, or Fat-Free", I want you to think of the words "Chemical Sh** Storm" instead.

    Good thing full fat and full sugared products don't have a ton of chemicals in them

    Exactly!...Those words just make me move faster through the BS at the store. Stick to basic and natural.

    This made me laugh out loud!

    I did a search for "chemicals in food." Very scary, even if only 1% of what you read on the internet is true.

    Read the ingredients before you even CONSIDER that label!

    I also think it's funny that stuff that is low-fat or fat-free is loaded with sodium

    Decent point. Make me think of the diet concept I saw once, something along the lines of "if each of the ingredients doesn't sound like food you have eaten before or you can't pronounce it, then it isn't food".

    Would you eat a food with all this in it?

    "Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid, P-Coumaric-Acid, Avicularin, Lutein, Quercitin, Rutin, Ursolic-Acid, Protocatechuic-Acid, and Silver."

    depends on the brand.

    check out walden farms, a favorite of mine. they are sugar free, carb free, calorie free and made with natural ingredients unlike say Hellmans fat free anything which is chemical, oils, etc.

    What about the times it's just being used as, you know, an accurate descriptor? Like half the shrimp I've seen lately has pointed out that they're "low in fat" on the package.

    Guilty... I eat a lot of these things because I want to keep my fats and sugars low. Why are these so bad for you? I kind of figured if they were approved by the FDA or whatever they're safe for human consumption. :/

    Oh yes, chemicals are the devil. Like that lethal, evil "water" thing.
