I sincerely hope that's a typo...
So I'm in Holland and Barrett, because the health food shop I actually like has closed down. I'm looking at dried fruit to put on my breakfast. Cranberries look good. "Infused with cane sugar", apparently. Because I am not a moron, I read the ingredients.
70% sugar, 30% cranberries.
What?
That's not cranberries with sugar. That's sugar with a hint of cranberry. Look, we've got a stance in karate, where 70% of the weight is on the back leg and 30% of the weight is on the front leg. For obvious and logical reasons, we call it "back stance". Calling 70% sugar "cranberries" would be like calling that "front stance".
Health food my arse.
