It's hard to read any news without running across someone making stupid statements. I wasn't up an hour before I found one this morning.
The lawyers that took on the cigarette companies and got millions of dollars out of them are now taking on the food manufacturers for fooling the public by mislabeling their products.
You'd have to be brain dead not to know that the big food corporations exaggerate their claims, beyond belief, to sell their junk food to the public. Unfortunately, if you've spent any time, at all, working with the public you know that the world is, actually, jam-packed full of brain dead (and, oh, so gullible) folks.
So, I had to laugh when I read a statement by an industry lawyer for the food companies. She says, it's hard to take, seriously, a claim that a consumer was deceived into believing that a chocolate hazelnut bread spread was healthy for children.
It doesn't take much time working with the public to know that you can find hair brains that dumb, any day of the week, that will believe anything they read in a newspaper or magazine or hear on radio or see on television or read on the back of a colorful carton of crap.
