My Snap Pea Crisps say, "Fresh Picked Goodness."

??

As in they were fresh picked, then dried and ground into a powder, then mixed with rice flour, oil, and salt and baked back into a snack chip?

I always laugh when potato chips are labelled as "gluten free."

B, have you ever read any Michael Pollan or Wendell Berry? If not, I recommend.

Berry should be on your list of not already. I think you'd like him based on your Pollan reading and the gist of this thread.

Have not read his new stuff yet, but I do agree with your sentiment. When I've heard him on podcasts lately I'm always like "where's the old Pollan? Where's the food stuff?" We need it now more than ever.

I do want to read his book about caffeine though.

"New and improved flavor" is usually a lie.

Mrs. Bam picked up a package of sliced turkey (lunch meat) from Trader Joe’s.

Should I be concerned that the primary claim on the packaging is “FULLY COOKED”?

I noticed that the snap pea crisps also said "Farm-Direct," which is a pointless claim unless it's "farm direct TO ME!"
