Both GMA and "Early Show" predictably turned to America's self-appointed food police - the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) - for answers

The people who insist that every thing you could eat is unhealthy

When will the government crack down on Paula Deen for frequently asserting “butter makes it better” in combination with using overdoses of it, on air?

Not such a simple issue, I think. I don’t want food nazis telling me what I can eat. I think consumers should take responsibility for what they consume. Taking responsibility means making informed decisions.

Information about food comes from mom and dad, experience, and food labels. So I don’t like misleading food labels either.

Grandpa said, the more ingredients in the food, the less healthier it is for you.

Grandpa is 91 and still going.

I’ll stand by his wisdom.

Want a laugh, read, really read the lables. I love the number of servings, like who is going to eat just 2 oreos? or 30 servings in a pack.

Pam, the spray on fat stuff, the one in my kitchen has 1800 servings in a 12 ounce can. Turns out a serving is 1/3rd of a second squirt. Try squiing anything 1/3rd of a second.

They have a point about misleading labels. Most American men can pull “one serving” of potato chips out of the bag in one hand.

I always read food labels. Ingredients are supposed to be listed from the largest to the smallest. It seems to me these are often not listed in order so as to trick the consumer
