It's important to be educated but sometimes knowing too much might lead to no food on table unless you grow on your own... I hope somehow laws will protect us from not being cheated and the companies are honest with the customers.

I think the dish is appetising, it looks really ok on the camera screen and then when I download it it's absolutely not publishable. It happens most of the time with artificial light photos.<br />I'm not surprised by the supermarkets tricks. I always read the ingredients' list and where it is produced etc.. <br />In France for example there is a very famous brand of cured ham and it's called Jambon d'Aoste. Aoste is the French name of the Italian city or valley (Aosta) and since Italians are famous for cured ham, most French customers think this is imported Italian ham because they never bother to check the producer's address. In fact (this is a work of genius!) a French producer had an excellent idea to build a factory in a small French village called... Aoste! So everything is legal and true: this is ham (jambon) from Aoste (d'Aoste). He has made a fortune since then and his ham is sold in every single supermarket in France.Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-62135367009660333382012-02-15T09:38:59.415+01:002012-02-15T09:38:59.415+01:00Lepan Grimley does sound posh - Grimley was very c...Lepan Grimley does sound posh - Grimley was very creative:)Three-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-7624903043331797072012-02-15T09:38:24.086+01:002012-02-15T09:38:24.086+01:00Thank youThank youThree-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-56452337925894757022012-02-15T09:38:11.490+01:002012-02-15T09:38:11.490+01:00Thats one of the reasons I am not a fan of Nutella...Thats one of the reasons I am not a fan of Nutella.

Very generous of you to share them awards out.<br />Haha! You're right about what the eyes see ain't what the camera sees. I'd have more posts more often if I could see what my camera sees. <br />I learnt at a young age never to trust what the branding tells me. One of my aunts neighbors was supplying the local market shelves with, get this ... "Hollywood Ketchup fr the US of A", made in her very messy backyard. I asked her if she's even been to Hollywood and she said no. So I then asked how she'd know what hollywood ketchup tastes like, she said little kids should get smacked for asking too many questions. Don't know what happened to her since. :)pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425142391134523753noreply@blogger.com
