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?.

I agree. Food labelling in Australia should be more specific. I hate the label of "Made from Local and Imported products". What part is imported? Who knows. Unfortunately we have to read the back of every product purchased. Even then it is not always clear what is in the product anyway. It is particularly difficult for people like Zombie who has to watch her sugar content.. Who should we approach regarding food labelling?
