There are people all over the internet talking about getting refunds even though they never bought it. There is no receipt needed.I thought it was interesting, and I guess technically they owe me $8 since I bought 2 jars in the past couple years. However, I don't have any receipts so how could I possibly collect?
I had the same reaction when I got hold of the news. We can't blame it all on the food manufacturers. As a consumer, it is our responsibility to check out the nutritional content of the food products.I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I definitely think food manufacturers need to be held accountable for the claims they make about their food, and I think when they LIE, the FDA needs to step in and handle the situation accordingly.
On the other hand however, there's a nutrition label on EVERY container and people need to be reading them EVERY time they consider buying a product they're not already familiar with. Just because a commercial claims that chocolate spread is healthy doesn't make it so. Read the nutrition facts and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!
I'm so with you on this one. Companies can make any claim they want, but they're already required by law to put the truth on their nutrition labels. I remember when the whole Nutella rage started, going to the store, picking up a package, looking at the nutrition facts, saying "this isn't healthy at all" and putting it back down. Every single person who claimed to be fooled could have done the same thing I did.Fruit Loops claims they are also a "healthy" breakfast because they contain a few vitamins and minerals within all the sugary garbage. Why are they being sued? Why aren't the companies that sell those 100-calorie snack packs of cookies and crap get sued for claiming people lose weight eating them?
Hm... warm beer, cold pizza, and nutella... that sounds like a kick@ss breakfast, haha!People are truly sad ... I guess this is one end-product of schools not teaching logical thinking to our kids. Of COURSE it's a breakfast food - just like warm beer and cold pizza!
Seriously, I feel guilty by association just for living in this day and age ...
