RULE #8

MR. PONNAN STATES THAT:

1.  FOR A PRODUCT TO CARRY A HEALTH CLAIM ON ITS PACKAGE, IT MUST FIRST HAVE A PACKAGE! SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT ITS MORE LIKELY TO BE PROCESSED RATHER THAN A WHOLE FOOD.

2. BIG MANUFACTURERS HAVE THE MEANS TO SECURE FDA APPROVED HEALTH CLAIMS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS AND THEN TRUMPET THEM AROUND THE WORLD.

3. BE AWARE OF MODERN FOOD PRODUCTS BECAUSE THEY TYPICALLY MAKE THE BOLDEST HEALTH CLAIMS (RED FLAG!). REMEMBER GOOD OLE MARGARINE, ONE OFTHE FIRST INDUSTRIAL FOODS TO CLAIM IT WAS MORE HEALTHFUL THAN THE TRADITIONAL FOOD IT REPLACED? TURNS OUT IT CONTAINS TRANSFATS THAT GIVE PEOPLE HEART ATTACKS.






THE HEALTHIEST FOOD IN THE SUPERMARKET, THE FRESH PRODUCE, DOESN'T BOAST ABOUT ITS HEALTHFULNESS, BECAUSE THE GROWERS DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET OR THE PACKAGING.

DON'T MISTAKEN THE "SILENCE OF THE YAMS AS A SIGN THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING VALUABLE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH!"
 
COME BACK FOR FOOD RULES 9 & 10
