So sad. I always wonder what happened to "truth in advertising". I do read labels - and they are scary, aren't they?

You made me remember a Blueberry Cake a fellow workamper from a few summer's ago would make - she gave me the recipe, but as you'll see - didn't give me the temp or time to bake - said she adjusted lol:

Blueberry Cake

2+ Cups Blueberries
2 Cups Flour
¾ to 1 C Sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 ½ sticks butter (melted)

Mix eggs and sugar. Add melted butter. Add flour and baking powder.
Mixture will be very thick.

Fold in blueberries.

Spoon into a greased 9x13 pan.

Cook for at

Sprinkle with cinnamon.

I will tell you it's awesome. Have not made it - but someday. If I was at Soos's with all those fresh blueberries, would probably have made it many times. (She really cut back on the sugar in the recipe from what it originally called for).

That's very interesting. From now on if I want something with blueberries I will make it and put the blueberries myself.

Doesn't surprise me as most of the food in the supermarkets middle aisles are 'food like products' made of of mostly chemical stuff made to taste like food. Read the labels before you buy anything and you'll probably put it back on the shelf! I don't want sugar, salt and oil added to my peanut butter or anything with dyes and artificial flavorings. It is criminal what the USDA has allowed to happen to our food supply. But, it's a great way to loose weight once you start to read the labels and understand what little nutrition, just empty calories you've been eating you start to look for better choices. Meat is really something to be careful of, if you watched the Jamie Oliver show and saw what they do to hamburger you will look for grass fed beef. This is the sad fact. To start with they are using meat that used to go to make dog food, they put it through a process, then add the ammonia which the government has decided they don't have to put on the label.

"On the Season Premiere of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution filmed in Los Angeles and aired on April 12, 2011, Jamie demonstrates how 70% of America's ground beef contains leftover cow parts (a.k.a. "pink slime") containing e.coli and salmonella that has been treated with ammonia. Ammonia treated meat can be found in virtually all conventional grocery stores, fast food restaurants, many national restaurant chains, and school cafeterias. The saddest part is that the USDA allows this ammonia treated meat to enter the marketplace and with no labeling requirement on the packaging to inform the consumer that the meat their about to buy contains ammonia, thus hiding the truth and pulling a wool over the consumer's eye. This is certainly a rude awakening to the majority of Americans that don't know where the meat in their fridge, the meat in their conventional local grocery store, the meat in their fast food hamburger, and the meat in their restaurant made hamburger comes from. How do you avoid this poison? Buy beef that has come from grass fed cows, which can be found at natural and organic grocery stores and your local farmers market. No matter the size of your town or city, grass fed beef (real beef) is not out of reach. Unlike ammonia treated beef, grass fed beef is clearly labeled and contains no ammonia."

I knew that most blueberry muffin mixes don't have real blueberries. Altho there is one kind that does, they include a separate can of blueberries in the box to mix in.

I don't care to eat hamburger ever again after reading that!

It's no wonder cancer is so prevalent now days! We are being killed by our chemically treated and altered food! May have to become a vegetarian...

Fake blueberries aren't allowed in this compound! With over 25 acres of the real thing, we have no need to do the chemical stuff, thank heavens. My latest blueberry cobbler recipe is made with Hodgson Mills stone ground whole wheat baking mix and all fresh ingredients. If I ever made it the same each time I bake it, I would include my recipre, but I just toss the ingredients together. I do know that it always has two cups of the flour mix each time, but, other than that, it's always different, and nothing else gets measured.
