Today in Scary Food: Watch out for Fake Blueberries!
Consumerist
and NPR
tipped us off to this story last Friday - apparently the blueberry-like objects in many cereals, frozen muffins and other processed products have absolutely nothing to with blueberry's at all! Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, but while we generally assume that the "marshmallows" in cereal are fake (especially since they taste like chalk) when something is masquerading as fruit, we assume it has something to do with fruit. Not so. The blueberries, which are noted on the nutrition label as "blueberry flavored chrunchlets" or something similar, are actually made of "sugars, soybean oil, red #40 and blue #2."
Review: [me] & goji Custom Artisanal Cereal
We should start this review by saying that we aren’t usually cereal fans. Oatmeal, maybe, or a nice omelet, but cereal has never appealed to us. Either it’s full of sugar and artificial colors or it’s tasteless cardboard “health food” that’s hard as a rock. Custom-made cereal offered the possibility of creating something that was both tasty and healthy at the same time
but we weren’t getting our hopes up.
