LOG CABIN ALL NATURAL TABLE SYRUP HOW TO
(There is, of course, vagueness in what counts as "small" but we have to draw arbitrary lines w/ many issues.) So, since the great majority (and since the most powerful of them) don't police themselves, as long as there are impressionable people around, and as long as other people's actions and poor choices have direct and indirect effects on other people, I'm ok w/ small interventions on the part of the government. But to pretend that "personal responsibility" means only that consumers must work harder, and not that businesses must work harder or profit slightly less through non-manipulative advertising, is unfair. That, I suppose, is largely naive, but there are responsible (and profitable) companies out there. And I believe the service that blogs like yours and people like you and my wife perform is in increasing awareness amongst the populace, encouraging them to not be afraid to try to learn about what they're buying, cooking, and eating.īut it would be much better still if cigarette, alcohol, fat explosion, etc. It is true: the best solution is not state intervention. I wanted to comment on Anonymous' (3:39 pm) post. I'm glad to be reading it again, however. My wife's been keeping up, but I got inundated w/ work. I'm back on your blog now from a long hiatus. I know a consumer who will provide expert testimony if asked. The Maple Producers Association recently heard back from the state, which said it is looking into the issue. Its cheaper price could additionally sway purchasing decisions. Van Glad said the letter, which was also sent to local and state elected officials, further questioned why the Log Cabin product was shelved in such close proximity to real maple syrup. “It misleads th e consumer into thinking they are buying real maple syrup,” Van Glad said. He knew about the product, as the New York State Maple Producers Association (he sits on its Board of Directors) sent a letter of complaint in September to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets questioning Log Cabin’s labeling and packaging. I mentioned this episode to Tony Van Glad, who sells his maple syrup (photo, below) at a local farmers’ market. “It was in the jug and it said ‘All Natural,’” she said. Her reason was straightforward and typical. One of my clients just bought this Log Cabin product to improve on the Aunt Jemima syrup her family was previously consuming. Instead, its ingredients are “syrup (brown rice, sugar, maple ), water, natural flavor, xanthan gum (natural thickener), caramel color, citric acid.” Technically, it is all natural-dog doody is all natural as well-but the labeling and packaging also make it mighty deceiving. The product, though, is not real maple syrup. Log Cabin recently released an “all natural syrup” that comes in a jug resembling an authentic maple syrup jug (photo, right). Here's additional evidence that the marketing ploys employed by the processed foodstuffs companies work.
