I was listening to the car radio only yesterday, tuned into a mainstream station and an advert came on for one of the major supermarkets. The gist of the advert was the holiday seasons had passed and you might be looking to lose some of the "excesses" e.g. body fat, so why not get some x brand low fat (high sugar) yogurts, six for the price of four.

I just said to myself, how can they get away with putting out a clear lie and one that is a health hazard.

The general public is still largely stuck in the past and actually thinks low fat foods == non-fattening foods. So it's effective marketing.

Yet another example of marketing being way underregulated and generally harmful to society.
