It seems odd that concocting artificial blueberries out of all those ingredients is cheaper than the real thing. Or maybe it just tastes better? At least there's no pesticides in the artificial variety. Take that, self-proclaimed food safety watchdogs!

Hmm... I wonder if the fruit in my Kellogg's Fruit Harvest cereal is the real thing or the imitation kind. Must read ingredients.

To avoid fraudulent blueberries posing as real berries, look on ingredient lists for red No. 40, blue No. 2 or any artificial colors, Adams says.

My personal favorite fraud is Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal, from General Mills, which contains no blueberries and no pomegranates.

It is no longer about telling the whole truth. It is about telling just enough to stay out of jail.

"Real blueberries are expensive; faking them is cheap, says Amy Kuras at The Stir.
