18 Supermarket Lies Revealed

17. Organic Junk Food

Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese

The Claim: "USDA organic"

The Truth: It's organic so it must be healthy, right? Not so much. For an extra 60 cents per box, consumers save 20 calories and 1 gram of fat. They also gain 2 grams of sugar, 1 gram of fiber, and 50 milligrams of sodium and they lose 6 percent of their daily iron. The point is, even organic junk food is still junk food. Your body processes organic refined flour and powdered cheese the same way it does conventional, so at the end of the day it's still a high-calorie, low-nutrient letdown.

What You Really Want: If you must have mac, pick one with a label that reads like the recipe you'd use to fix it at home. Annie's line of macaroni and cheese contains about eight ingredients per box and cuts the fat by 72 percent over Kraft Organic.
