In Response to Dan's Blog about Fast-Food Promoting Health...

We see this time and time again not only with fast-food companies but with any company that is trying to capitalize on the popularity "green and healthy" products.

At the grocery store there's soaps, chips, beauty products and even desserts that are marketed to appear "healthier" or "good for the environment."

I don't think that these companies should get away with it. They're not actually providing a better product, they're simply manipulating its image to convince consumers that they've changed their product. This is misleading and as consumers we should not allow them to get away with it.

Unfortunately, legislation only goes so far in monitoring and controlling these misleading marketing tactics but as consumers we should do our homework before we purchase a product and not fall prey to these lies that continue to make these companies richer at the expense of our money and health.
