One of the latest large-scale scams is the #Nutriscore.

They lie about the nutritional value of primary healthy foods such as wild-caught fish, meat and butter, instead intentionally misguide ppl into buying outright harmful super processed food with long lists of ingredients.

Alarm everyone around you not to trust it.

Somewhere I read that a third!! of french make shopping choices based on the Nutriscore evaluation.

But it might explain why processed foods get better score. The companies are part of those stupid green programs like: for every X sold products we plant a tree.

I've been informed on twipl that a C is not necessarily worse than A. Nutriscore is comparing only within respective categories.

So a smoked salmon is worse than non-smoked because it contains bad salt.

But also, a vegan immitation of smoked salmon could be still an A, because it's a different category, you got it?
