Here we are as cyclists dumping 100g sugar in water bottles as a necessity for fuel and these people are moaning over 16g in sugar.

Imagine how much gatorade and powerade people drink that are sedentary and they claim it's a sports drink. If someone was dying of dehydration they would say damn this has too much sugar.

Imagine living in a country where the ingredients are printed right on the package and a group in California can sue you for 12,000,000 because they didn’t know there was sugar in it.

People didn't read labels. I was teaching this apprentice and he was telling me he wanted to lose wait so I was watching what he was drinking. He had 3 monster energy drinks which had about 54 grams of sugar each and a pepsi 20 oz which has 69 grams of sugar. So I showed him the labels an he didn't realize how much sugar he consumed by the end of an 8 hour shift.
 
What a ridiculous lawsuit!

The same level of ridiculousness applies to the amount of sugar in all our food. In addition it’s mostly high fructose syrup (less healthy than old fashion sugar) which I am not knocking the companies for. It’s a business decision…. Consumer beware.

I try my best to avoid high sugar items and don’t buy certain foods because of it.

We have become so accustomed to such sweet and salty foods/drinks that many people don’t know otherwise. And they simply don’t bother to educate themselves on the repercussions BUT again I don’t blame the companies.
 
Submit a claim if you feel clif bar wronged you.


"The consumers' counsel at Fitzgerald Joseph LLP plan to ask for about $3.5 million in attorney fees, which amounts to about one-third of the settlement fund, according to the motion. The attorneys spent more than 10,000 hours on the litigation, for a total lodestar of about $6.9 million, the motion states."

What a bunch of crap. This irritates me it’s just a scam to have the lawyers make money.

Been eating these for years knowing full well there’s sugar/ fructose whatever in it.

My protest against this will be that i won’t file a claim. And then continue to eat the massive box I have at home.

I get that people don’t read the labels but I can’t believe you can sue for that. And win. This isn’t like the McDonald’s screwing over an old lady lawsuit, this is actually absurd.

Why not? They use deceptive labeling, actively lobby to use ingredients that are banned in other countries, and the dairy industry fought against labeling products that they are not from cows treated with RBST. They maximize profits by feeding us shit. Then you get "sick" and hooked on prescription drugs for a "cure", almost like it's by design.

I'm all for personal responsibility and paying attention to what you're putting into your body, but in no way does the food industry deserve a free pass.

Simple:

You can read the label. I don’t have to drink soda or eat Oreo’s…or Cliff bars for the sake of this conversation. I have a “choice”.

I choose not to ride a bike to work therefore I knowingly choose to expose myself to the toxic chemicals in motor vehicles.

I choose to use an IPhone to communicate verbally and socially which knowingly has the potential to cause cancer.

I choose my own poison…

I am not arguing that the food industry shouldn’t clean itself up. People simply don’t care so why should they stop selling it?

I was driving on 80 and 287 and the amount our sheer and utter reckless abandoned of human life on the highway is just as egregious
as the garbage that goes into our food…yet nobody cares. Zero changes will come because the vast majority will NEVER change their ways…
