* Fast food companies who tout their "100% pure grade-A beef", which sounds great unless you happen to know that "grade-A" to the USDA just means [http://meat.tamu.edu/beefgrading.html slaughtered before age 30 months]. It has nothing to do with quality. |

* Products that tout themselves as being "a good source of protein," "a good source of calcium" or "100% of your daily supply of vitamin C" may be full of cholesterol, fat, or sugar. It's usually not difficult to get your RDI of protein or vitamin C, so these labels are in some places relegated to meaty fast food or sugary fruit-flavoured drinks that have nothing else going for them nutritionally. |

* "Real American cheese" typically doesn't mean a single kind of American-sourced cheese, like Cheddar, Colby or Gouda, but what the USDA refers to as ''processed cheese'', which is actually cheese ''sauce'' (the details of which are covered over in the Velveeta entry in [[Lite Creme]]) that's been colored with annatto to look like Cheddar. It's not all that bad; it at least ''tastes'' like cheese most of the time. The implication, however, is that there's worse, and there is. "Imitation" cheese, which is made from whey, oil and water like margarine, is even cheaper and tastes like plastic. |
