    consumers really don’t read labelling properly.

    the label that always makes me chuckle is “made with 100% REAL fruit juice” which is ridiculously deceptive

        Good morning. I wanted to actually visit that URL to pick a part their claims, but I cannot get the “plant-based” hoo-ha text to appear on my browser view.

        I am however noticing that first they tell you that you’re getting “*all natural” pork as though there would be such a thing as unnatural pork.

        The asterisk disclaimer reads “minimally processed with no artificial ingredients”. The mind spins to comprehend what could be an “artificial” ingredient.

        So they’re basically saying processed pork.

          The plant-based bowl thing is on the bottom right-hand side on the box. They don’t bring up that claim in the text of the website.

      The one I’ve been hearing lately, granted it’s only a claim made in podcast ads I’ve heard:

      “Made from whole food-sourced ingredients”

        I can’t even understand that line means tbh. What does food-sourced ingredients mean, and why is whole better than partial?

          They want you to feel as though you are getting whole foods. But since you’re getting ultra processed ingredients, they’re just telling you that at one point these ingredients were part of whole food. Before processing.

          In a way it’s brilliant bafflegab.

      I met this chick who bragged about what a great cook she was.

      Every meal was basically pasta, rice, or meat in this crappy canned soup.

      “Oh you didn’t like my red sauce pasta (tomato soup), you’re going to love my rice casserole (mushroom soup)”

      Barf

        Heh. When I met my wife she existed on Kraft “Dinner”, corn and Campbell’s soups. The good thing is I hate all those, so I introduced her to home cooked dishes that vary from Indian, Thai, Lebanese, Greek, etc. I’ve created a food snob now though, LOL.

        The canned soups can be a good backup dish if you’re low on things, but it wouldn’t be like…a dish I’d be delighted to serve to guests. But you need food inside a human with minimum work? Chicken, rice, water, can of cream of something, spices, slap in oven and lay on the couch trying not to move.

          I’m going to go ahead and disagree hard on this. I’ve had food scarcity in the past, and I’m a wonderful cook who can improvise from any ingredients.

          Even at my most hungry, I would give the soup away. I would rather just cut up a piece of tomato and put it in fresh rice. Or use a couple of actual mushrooms and some powdered buttermilk if I needed creamy umami.

          The soups are just salty, cooked-to-mush, food industry discard ingredients in my view.

          I actually could not see how disgusting the soup was until I lost about 130 lb by cooking from scratch. When I went back to some of my old convenience foods, I spit them out in disgust.

        I didn’t see a Campbell’s soup that has msg. Can you tell me the ones that do?

        But there’s nothing wrong with MSG, it isn’t worse for you than table salt
