Natural Food Company potato chips

Honey Soy Chicken- Whilst walking past the television one day this week I heard part of the transcript of a commercial for the Natural Food Company's new line of potato chips. The words 'nothing artificial' sparked my curiosity! Off to the supermarket yet again! The magazine advertisement states: 'No Artificial Colours',
                                                                                                                           'No Artificial Flavours' &
                                                                                                                           'No Preservatives'.
Sounds too good to be true for such a product. The 3rd ingredient listed was sugar, the 4th was salt- not a good start. However, it gets worse- the 6th-11th ingredients are all highly likely to be either contain or are alternate forms of MSG (natural flavours, soy; vegetable extract; maltodextrin, honey powder, dextrin corn starch, vegetable powders). All designed to make you eat more & become addicted to the flavour!

These products are an excellent example of how food ( if you can call it that!) manufacturers advertise BY OMISSION. Disgraceful, & as for the statement on television saying that there is nothing artificial, well, there could be nothing further from the truth. Vote with your purchasing power- DON"T PURCHASE.
