  Smart Choices food label is marketing fraud;  Tufts University 
  involvement questioned (opinion) 
  _http://www.naturalnews.com/027077_nutrition_food_Tufts_University.html_ 
  (http://www.naturalnews.com/027077_nutrition_food_Tufts_University.html)  
  by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor 
   

  (NaturalNews) The big food companies have dreamed up yet  another clever 
  con to sell processed junk foods to parents and children: A  Smart Choices 
  label that implies the food product is a smart choice for health  and 
  nutrition. The problem is that the standards for qualifying for this  
designation 
  were set by the food companies themselves, and processed junk foods  like 
  Froot Loops (a sugary breakfast cereal) qualify. 
   
   
  Froot Loops is 41 percent processed white sugar. It also  contains 
  processed flour and partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil. But that's  not all 
you'll 
  find in the box: Froot Loops is also made with synthetic coloring  
  chemicals, including Red #40, Blue #2, Yellow #6 and Blue #1. The No. 1  
ingredient 
  of Froot Loops is sugar, and each serving contains 12 grams of sugar. 
   
   
  So how, exactly, did Froot Loops qualify for the  Smart Choices label? 
   
   
  I'll tell you how: Because the Smart Choices label is a  marketing fraud. 
  It's a manipulative, dishonest food package labeling system  that is 
  intentionally designed by the processed food companies to mislead and  
misinform 
  consumers into buying processed food products, in my view. 
   
   
  You'd have to be deeply misinformed about nutritional basics  to think that 
  a processed breakfast cereal made of 41% sugar,  partially-hydrogenated 
  oils and artificial coloring chemicals is a smart  choice for any child. A 
  more appropriate label might be Diabetes Choices or  Obesity Choices, but 
  certainly not Smart Choices. 
   
   
  In my opinion, this marketing fraud is little more than a  marketing 
  gimmick. It makes you wonder who, exactly, came up with it. 
   

  Did Tufts University sell out to the food giants? The  president of the 
  Smart Choices board is Eileen T. Kennedy, dean of the Friedman  School of 
  Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. 
  (_http://nutrition.tufts.edu/11745629_ (http://nutrition.tufts.edu/11745629) 
...) 
   
   
  Eileen Kennedy and other Tufts University faculty members have  established 
  ties with the Kellogg's company, having participated in a  Children's 
  Health forum that was co-sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. 
   
   
  That event, held in June of this year, was entitled:  'Children's Health: 
  The Future of Food  Nutrition Policy'. It claimed to  offer in-depth 
  discussions on topics like childhood obesity, nutrition  standards, global 
child 
  nutrition and school food. (_http://www.reuters.com/article/pres_ 
  (http://www.reuters.com/article/pres) ...) 
   
   
  (Did their discussions ever mention that perhaps children  shouldn't eat 
  breakfast cereals made with 41% processed sugar?) 
   
   
  In promoting the event, Eileen Kennedy was quoted in a joint  press 
  release, admitting how closely her university works with food companies: 
   
   
  Working with our colleagues across academia, the food and  nutrition 
  industry, government agencies and nonprofit organizations, we will  influence 
and 
  change the nutritional landscape for our children. 
   
   
  She certainly accomplished that. Now, products made with 41%  refined white 
  sugar are fraudulently marketed as Smart Choices. 
   
   
  Guess who else was invited to speak at the event? Dr. Cathy  Woteki from 
  Mars, Inc., makers of candy bars and other sugar processed foods  that are 
  aggressively marketed to children. 
   

  Tufts University: Sugar for kids? It all makes you wonder:  With all these 
  corporate junk food giants being so heavily involved in this  event 
  presented by Tufts University, what exactly does this university really  
stand for 
  in regards to healthy food for children? Does Tufts University itself  stand 
  behind the promotion of sugary junk foods for children? Does it endorse  
  products like Froot Loops being labeled as Smart Choices for kids? 
   
   
  Here are the ingredients of Froot Loops: 
   
   
  SUGAR; WHOLE GRAIN CORN FLOUR; WHEAT FLOUR; WHOLE GRAIN OAT  FLOUR; OAT 
  FIBER; SOLUBLE CORN FIBER; PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (ONE  OR MORE 
  OF: COCONUT, SOYBEAN AND/OR COTTONSEED OILS)†; SALT; SODIUM ASCORBATE  AND 
  ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C); NIACINAMIDE; REDUCED IRON; NATURAL ORANGE, LEMON,  
  CHERRY, RASPBERRY, BLUEBERRY, LIME AND OTHER NATURAL FLAVORS; RED #40; BLUE 
  #2;  TURMERIC COLOR; YELLOW #6; ZINC

Are we talking about grain fed lipofat vs range fed?  Range
fed would require walking around and bending over, causing less fat
and more lean meat, whereas grain fed requires only bending over,
like we are already used to, plus easier to engineer and enrich the
grain for the highest quality lipofat.  Mike

LOL!

What about the comparative Omega-3 fatty acid content?

Is the grain a fossil-fuels dependant industrial monocrop a la ADM?
Not carbon-neutral lipofat then, hm.

What will be the effect of this kind of biofuel on tortilla prices in
Mexico? To say nothing of Tyson's bottom line, let alone the Nikkei
Index?

And what about MOA disease (Mad Overweight Americans) - are feed
regulations in place to ensure that you're not eating each other's
brains?

Let them eat grass, that's what I say.

Actually, a certain list member made some liposuction by-product
biodiesel four years ago but kept quiet about it because he wasn't
sure the world was ready. Or something like that.

Wait a minute...  I think we have a potential new field of

reserves by sucking out the fat of our asses at the same time  we
suck off the fat of the land!  Granted it would not be sustainable.

Kind of like what Tyson foods does to chickens.  We could have
literal fat farms!  Produce the fat and render the fat.

What a great idea!

  Liposuccions: a new source of biodiesel! A norwegian businessman, Mr.
  Lauri Venøy, will settle in Miami in Florida to launch a production of
  biodiesel starting from greases resulting from liposuccions. 60% of the
  Americans are in overweight and a great number of them has recourse to
  the liposuccion. For Mr. Lauri Venøy, that can represent a lucrative
  market in the field of renewable energies. The norwegian contractor is
  currently in talks with the Jackson Memorial American hospital for the
  signature of an agreement, which would enable him to acquire 11.500
  liters of human grease resulting from liposuccions each week, and thus
  to produce 10.000 liters of bio-diesel.

  Off the Rails: Big Oil, Big Brother Win Big in the State of the Union
  by Greg Palast
  Tuesday, 23 January, 2006
  There was that tongue again. When the President lies he's got this weird 
nervous tick: He sticks the tip of his tongue out between his lips. Like a 
little boy who knows he's fibbing. Like a snake licking a rat.

  In his State of the Union tonight the President did his tongue thing 124 
times - my kids kept count.

  But it wasn't all rat-licking lies.

  Most pundits concentrated on Iraq and wacky health insurance stuff. But 
that's just bubbles and blather. The real agenda is in the small stuff. The 
little razors in the policy apple, the nasty little pieces of policy shrapnel 
that whiz by between the appearances of the Presidential tongue.

  First, there was the announcement the regime will, give employers the tools 
to verify the legal status of their workers. In case you missed that one, the 
President is talking about creating a federal citizen profile database.

  There's a problem with that idea. It's against the law. The law in question 
is the United States Constitution. The Founding Fathers thought the government 
had no right to keep track on a citizen unless there is evidence they have 
committed, or planned to commit, a crime.

  But the Founding Fathers didn't imagine there were millions and billions of 
dollars to be made by private contractors ready to perform this KGB operation 
for the Department of Homeland Security, tracking each and every one of us to 
keep tabs on our status.

  These work databases will tie into voter verification databases required by 
the Help America Vote Act. And these will tie to the databases on citizenship 
and so on.

  Will Big Brother abuse these snoop lists? The biggest purveyor of such hit 
lists is Choice Point, Inc. - those characters who, before the 2000 election, 
helped Jeb Bush purge innocent voters as felons from Florida voter rolls. 
Will they abuse the new super-lists? Does Dick Cheney shoot in the woods?

  There were several other little IEDs (improvised execrable policy devices) 
planted in the State of the Union. Did you catch the one about doubling the 
Strategic Petroleum Reserve? If you're unfamiliar with the SPR, it is supposed 
to be the stash of oil we keep in case the price of crude gets too high.

  Well, the price of oil has been horribly high but Dick Cheney, the official 
who sits on the Reserve's spigots, has refused to release the oil into the 
market.

  Instead of unleashing the Reserve and busting Big Oil's price gouging Bush 
will double the Reserve, which will require buying three-quarters of a billion 
barrels of oil. This is a nice $40 billion pay-out to Big Oil from the US 
Treasury. Compare this to the President's health insurance plan which will be 
revenue neutral - that is, have a net investment of zero.

  But the $40 billion in loot the oilmen will get from us taxpayers for 
doubling the Reserve is nothing compared to the boost in the worldwide price of 
crude caused by this massive, mad purchase. While the Congressional audience 
didn't even bother polite applause for the reserve purchase plan, there's no 
doubt they were whooping it up in Saudi Arabia. Clearly, the state of the 
Saudi-Bush union is still pretty good.

  But why end

  And parklands and wetlands

  I decided that schools

  I've decided gay marriage

  And Cheney and Rummy

  They tell me it's so.

  I'm the Decider
  So watch what you say
  Or I may decide
  To have you whisked away.

  Or I'll tap your phones.
  Your e-mail I'll read.

 It is utterly unbelievable that Americans, only now so belatedly

Hakan,

Agreed. The sh-t would hit the fan. Hopefully enough reason and sanity 
will
eventually prevail like it did during the cold war (we survived it
somehow). Of
course it may have been MAD (a form of insanity called Mutually Assured
Destruction, the idea that no one wins, except by not fighting or starting 
a
nuclear war), that actually saved us during the cold war.

What I find to be so ludicrous (silly, ridiculous) is that if  IRAN
really wanted
to Nuke Israel or the USA they would not need a real nuclear weapon, and 
they
would have done it already with a dirty nuclear weapon since they already 
have
nuclear power plants with uranium.

I suspect they have not done so, even if they wanted to, because
they know if they
did the US or Israel would level Iran in retaliation, probably with nukes.

The really scary part,  I fear, is that even if the US does back
down, Israel will
still not allow Iran to make nuclear bombs and therefore will not
back down. So,
anyway you look at it, if Iran does not back off on the nuclear
issue we will all
be in deep sh-t.

What also concerns me is that if the US attacks Iran, North Korea
will probably
freak out and go nuts since they would believe they were next. I have 
heard no
mention of this yet in the news.

Let's all pray that reason and sanity prevail once again.

Best wishes for world peace,

Subject: Is the US preparing to bomb Iran?
   
Seymour Hersh has a 6000 work article in next week's New
Yorker on possible plans for a pre-emptive bombing strike
against Iran including the use of nuclear weapons.  While
Hersh has not always been right in his predications, he has a
pretty good track record on the whole.  It's a good article
and also a worrisome one.  No matter what you believe of the
wisdom of attacking Iran, if we do there are bound to be many
more difficulties ahead before things get better.
