Food marketing

Oh, xkcd. You have (many) brilliant insights scattered about your (often inappropriate) ridiculousness.

Personally, my favorite Misleadingly Healthy Food Labels are "with whole grains" and "raised without hormones."

A bagel made "with whole grains" is probably made "with" plenty of other things too. It might have a few tablespoons of wheat germ mixed in there, but when the other ingredients are bleached flour, soybean oil, and corn syrup solids . . . hum.

And chicken "raised without hormones?" I was very impressed until I read the teeny tiny print at the bottom: federal law prohibits the use of hormones in poultry. Oh. So you're basically telling me that you keep the law. Yay . . .
