You're Not Eating Them For Your Health
-
Thank the Lord that Necco Wafers are back to the original recipe. A couple of years ago, they thought they could appeal to the health-conscious by switching to "all-natural" colors and flavors, using cabbage and beets. The response: Sales dropped 35% and people told the company they hated the new version. So it's back to artificial colors and flavors. People know what they like. Oh, and, naturally, the response of "Food Nazi" Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest is that there should be -- this is not a joke -- LEGISLATION to FORCE compamies to stop using artificial flavors and colors, because people shouldn't be allowed to eat what they like.
