When You Think Health Food, Think Nestlé

Comments (0)

By healthhabits, September 28, 2010

Last August, I wrote a post entitled – The Future of Health Food

In that post, I predicted a future where healthy food & nutrition would have little to do with this…

or this…

Instead, it would have everything to do with this…

and this…

And like a modern day Nostradamus, I was 100% correct.

In a press release issued yesterday, the Swiss food giant Nestlé has announced that it would seek to expand into the profitable health and wellness sectors by setting up a new unit (Nestlé Health Science) and investing hundreds of millions of dollars in medical research (Nestle Institute of Health Sciences).

According to the Nestlé, these two separate organisations will allow Nestlé to develop the innovative area of personalised health science nutrition to prevent and treat health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease, which are placing an unsustainable burden on the world’s healthcare systems.

.

Ironic….the company that brings you frozen pizza, ice cream, artificial coffee creamer and Goobers is going to become the world’s largest producer of healthy food.

.

And in other news…an alliance of the world’s largest drug cartels has decided to expand into the profitable drug rehabilitation sector by setting up a new unit (Narcotic Addiction Health Science) and investing hundreds of millions of dollars in drug rehabilitation research (Narcotic Institute of Health Sciences).

Wendy’s – You Can’t Fake Real

By healthhabits, September 26, 2010

In their new advertising campaign, Wendy’s says You Can’t Fake Real.

Well, alrighty then.

A fast food company that has turned over a new leaf and is going to start making “real” food.

Like this:

Wendy’s 10-Piece Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Chicken Breast, Water, Seasoning (salt, spice, spice extractive), Sodium Phosphates. Battered and Breaded with: Wheat Flour, Water, Bleached Wheat Flour, Salt, Modified Corn Starch, Spice, Wheat Gluten, Egg White Solids, Gum Arabic, Paprika, Extractives of Paprika, Yellow Corn Flour, Leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate), Spice Extractives, Yeast. Cooked in Soy, Corn, Cottonseed & Hydrogenated Soy Oil. Note: May be cooked in the same oil as Fish Fillets (where available). CONTAINS: EGG, WHEAT.

• Spice Extractives in products like this are often created by combining Oleoresins with solubizing agents (Polysorbate 80, mono and diglycerided and water soluble gums) to create a liquid seasoning.
• Oleoresins are derived by a solvent-extraction of whole spices.
• Sodium Phosphates are used to help the leaving process in breaded foods like nuggets

And lets not forget where fast food poultry comes from.

Now…moving on to the Frosty

Wendy’s Medium Original Chocolate Frosty™

Milk, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Cream, Whey, Nonfat Dry Milk, Cocoa (processed with alkali), Guar Gum, Mono and Diglycerides, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan, Calcium Sulfate, Disodium Phosphate, Artificial and Natural Flavoring, Vitamin A Palmitate. CONTAINS: MILK.

.

Hmmmmmm…that doesn’t seem fake at all.

Until you compare it to my Mom’s recipe for a basic Chocolate Milk Shake

Chocolate Ice Cream + just enough milk to make it drinkable.

.

So, whaddaya think…Can Wendy’s Fake Real?
