Does the food industry direct your perception of what's healthy?

Over the last couple of days there has been stories in the media about a recent Australia study that has shown that smoothies and juices from a range of fast food or juice chains aren't as healthy as a lot of people think. 



But it's not only some juice and smoothie businesses that promote their products as healthy when in fact 'healthy' would be the last word I'd use to describe some of these products.  

But I think Yoni Freedhoff of www.weightymatter.ca says it best in this video.


Yes, it's not groundbreaking stuff here, but it really highlights the reality that we, as consumers, need to educated ourselves about food and nutrition and not rely on food manufacturers to tell us what is and isn't healthy.
