Food Lableing

I have a problem with misleading food lables on nutrician. Why are so many foods labled as healthy when they are full of sugar. I'm diabetic and it frustrates me when I'm trying to shop for appropriate foods. For example many products contain more than 50gms of sugar per 100gms and they have the cheek to call that healthy food. What do you think?.

While I will be the first to admit that I do not read the labelling on food products, I can understand why others do. As to the labelling, well in my opinion it is always clever marketing by food companies to lure you to buy their product, and to do this they use devious tricks like the words "Low Fat" etc. I'm of the opinion that no matter what we buy in todays world, the labelling and advertising for the products is all mainly hype and false. The claims some products make are remotely believable, and yet we all buy the products because of labelling. Yes it is time for the labelling laws to be corrected, but more importantly, isn't it time that food companies were held accountable for the false and misleading labeeling and claims they make for their products??
