In 1981 Campbell Soup Company introduced
Prego Sauce. From the beginning their advertising pitch was, “It’s In
There”!

Prego had garlic, little bits of herbs,
onions and seasoning (for that homemade taste).
Today there are a growing number of products proud to advertise all the things that are Not In There. That is because we are afraid of what we eat (it does not seem to slow down what we are eating).
Many food
producers are obsessive about telling us to buy their product because it will
not kill us.
On the other hand, many of us take
comfort in saying to ourselves, “It will only make me fat” (which will kill
us).
I just bought a new Breakfast Cereal that is obsessed about what they Do Not Put In There...
- They start off by telling you that it does not have grain in there.
- Silly me, I thought all breakfast all cereals had grain in there.
- Not my new cereal. My new cereal brags that it is an, “Organic Grain-Free Cereal.”
- Are they really saying that it has Grain but it is Grain-Free because they do not charge you for the Grain That Is In There?
Then they go into an extensive list of what their
cereal does not contain...
- It does not have Refined Sugar.
- It does not have GMOs (whatever that is?).
- It does not have
Artificial Dyes.
- It has Nothing Artificial in
it.
- It does not have Seed
Oils.
- It does not have
Glyphosates (whatever that is?).
- It does not have Gluten.
This one has been around for years. 80% of Americans are on a Gluten-Free Diet and
65% of that 80% do not know what Gluten is.
Fella’s Questions of the
Day… Is there
anything in there? It sure looks like there is nothing left that could possibly
be in there. If there is nothing in there, why would any fella, let alone The
Fella, spend money to buy a Breakfast Cereal that did not contain anything?
Would I kid u?
