Safeway - ConAgra Foods

Interesting flyer in the mail from Safeway (fine print says ConAgra).

"Your recipe for a balanced life," with ads for PAM cooking spray oil, egg beaters (artificial eggs), and Hunt's tomatoes. Are these all ConAgra brands? I dunno, what I was trying to find was what's in PAM cooking oil. Is it really healthy? Well, the amusing thing is that the "serving size" - "one spray" is so small, that it doesn't have to list itself as containing fat ?! Who uses just one spray?

There are now numerous varieties of PAM -- olive oil, and some other types of oil, but the original PAM ingredients isn't listed in an obvious place on their site. BUT THEY NEVER ACTUALLY CLAIM IT'S HEALTHY !

Inside: "Balanced Living Starts Here -- Eat Well. Get Active. Live Right." Huh. Doesn't say "eat healthy" it says "eat well." Because who wants that diet crap? Let's have... (picture) "Begin your day with balance and our Fresh Vegetable Omelet" made with PAM cooking oil, egg beaters, and Hunts canned tomatoes.

Not healthy living, "Balanced Living." Brought to you by ConAgra processed and chemically manipulated wonder-foods! Hey, I'm sure the people there believe they're performing a great service to humanity; why, the convenience of spray-can oil lets you use less; less fat in your food, right? Egg beaters; not evil eggs. Never mind that you're generating a lot of packaging trash with that PAM can, and you could just put oil in your own spritz bottle, and do you need eggs every day so badly you'll eat the fake ones instead of the real ones less often? It's the Safeway lifestyle. How do you market "healthy" and still manage to maintain the profit margin of chemically processed products?

Wow, I'm attracting some really brilliant minds. I wonder if this is a ConAgra employee or an attorney for Safeway ?
