Bad Food and Drink Companies
There are companies that just aim to create some of the most unhealthy, junk-food for us to eat. These companies try to stamp a "high in fiber" and "zero calories" label on their products, but it does not change the fact that the food is not at all good for us. If something says that it is "diet" that usually means that it has more sugar to make it taste the same as if it were not diet. Diet drinks like Coke, Pepsi, and other popular beverages are not any better than non-diet, if not worse. Want to know another trick that they use? Just because something (bread, eggs, sugar) is the color brown it does not mean that it is actually more healthy than white food. When a product says "brown" most of the time it means that it is naturally white and food dyes were used to make it the color brown. So if you want something that is naturally brown make sure it says "wholegrain". Here is a list of some companies that do these things:
Kellogg Cereal
Frito Lays
General Mills
