18 Supermarket Lies Revealed |
10. (Kind of) "Real" Food
Kid Cuisine All Star Chicken Nuggets
The Claims: "Made with real chicken"; "made with real cheese"
The Truth: Yes, there is actual chicken in these "nugget-shaped patties," but it shares space with 17 other ingredients, including textured soy protein and modified food starch. The mac with "real cheese" does have cheddar, but it also has 34 other ingredients, including the carb filler maltodextrin. Rule of thumb: If a product makes claims about its realness on the package, be skeptical.
What You Really Want: To eat more food and fewer science experiments. While it's tricky with our industrialized food complex, stick to items with as few ingredients as possible. If they're chicken nuggets, that means chicken, bread crumbs, and oil. Foster Farms Breast Nuggets fit the bill.
