TrendTrition: JELL-O is health food now!

American food companies heart buzzwords.  Omega-3's on the Today Show? Antioxidants in Parade Magazine?  Oprah loves fiber!  Time for 100-Calorie Packs of Omega-3 Whole Grain Oreos with AntioxidantPlus! Because that's better than eating real food.

Here's the latest trend-tritious calamity to stick in my proverbial craw (nothing sticks in my real craw ~ I eat lots of fiber):


JELL-O ... with Antioxidants?  For giggles and mark-up, they've also buzzworded these monstrosities with goji and acai!  Thought: if you're using boiled pig bones 'n' skin, artificial sweetener, artificial color and artificial flavor as your antioxidant delivery method of choice, you're kind of missing the point.

Now, go eat a piece of fruit.
