Lite Creme: Difference between revisions

Note [[Lite Creme]] products may in fact taste like 'normal' foods, and brands being sold ''directly'' as food replacements (such as vegan) directly advertise as such. In general, as [[All-Natural Snake Oil]] can tell you, there's nothing particularly wrong with something being a processed food in and of itself, and things that are "natural" can be just as unhealthy as Froot Choco-Cheez. Generally though, [[Lite Creme]] in the public image brings to mind bizarre concoctions of usually unhealthy additives.

* At one time, "Lite" had no meaning and could be legally used on packages of lard. "Light" often referred solely to color, and not caloric content. Consumer attention paid to this term, though, has resulted in changes to marketing and (in 1993) to [http://www.fda.gov/fdac/special/foodlabel/lite.html the relevant FDA regulations].<br /><br />"Light" olive oil still retains its label, and it still has the same caloric content as any other kind of oil -- lots, since it's a type of fat. The term refers to its taste: it has a more mild flavour.
