Aspartame...food co. scamming!.. Read your Ingredients!



So last week I bought a bunch of yoplait yogurt.  I decided to go with fat free because I am making an effort to cut down my calories to keep myself from getting fat and obeese.  Anyways...after buying 10 of these damn yogurts that were on sale, I finally notice NOW, it contains Aspartame. tsk tsk.  So I googled the how bad this stuff is:

Wow, thats good to fucking know! Its pretty fucked up because I do a lot of focus group study/surveys for Wrigley to try their new gum.  All their gum contains Aspartame.  Damn.. I guess I need to start pretending I am chewing at my next survey and spit that shit out.  I mean look at these side effects! Seriously?!  It seems food companies do not give a shit about society but to only make a fast buck off what they can get away with.  Isn't that the truth? Everytime i go grocery shopping, I always check the calorie content because I can be sort of a health freak sometimes to maintain my physique, but lately in the past months I have also checked the ingredients.  Most of the products I have come across appear to not even have the ingredients as described in the label!  Scammers! For ex. , I went to Dominick's by Lincoln and Foster and bought some Dole-Watermelon juice, 100% Natural.  HA. Its 100% Natural but only 10% juice.  Beware Buyers!  Check your ingredients!
