While i'm on a roll
Foods that get the tick of approval from a supposebly impartial tester
The label of the heart foundation is a good example

$330,000 buys Maccas(McDonals)the tick of approval

All testing is paid for by those wanting this badge of health
Turns out the badge doesnt pick out the healthiest products but the least harmful in each category so you have the ridiculous scenario where products with 30-50% of saturated fat(and god knows what else ie unlisted trans fats)with a label that screams healthy
To the smart shopper who understands labels the tick will be useful but the real damage will be those who dont seeing obvious junkfoods as now having a tick that says their healthy
The least worst scenario falls so short of the bar its not funny
