Truth in Labelling?

Right up front let me say I'm generally a big proponent of truth in labelling for foodstuffs. I think it's just unfair for marketing types to try to hide the crap that's in food behind "1/3 less sugar!!!" (yeah, than rock candy) "Half the sodium!!!" (of a salt mine) claims.

But sometimes they may go too far.

Our breakroom at work, like many others, is a place where people leave treats. Sometimes these are leftovers from meetings, sometimes it's leftovers from parties, sometimes it's just a nice gesture on a co-workers part. And sometimes, it's to get rid of the weird things you get at the holidays.

Today when I went to get a cup of coffee, there was a packet of what I would call cookies on one of the tables.

The name on the label? Glucose Biscuits.

Yummy.....
