Brendan Brazier is a good BC boy, iron man triathlete, vegan and bestselling author. He also has his face on the back of products that he formulated like the Choc-a-lot shake and go smoothie which is vegan, 65% raw, gluten free and casein free. It was $25 for 10 servings.
I bet his mom is VERY proud of him. Maybe she would be a little less proud if she knew his face is on the back of a product labeled gluten free that is not actually gluten free. Trust me- I know it's not and my intestines know it's not! :-) I went to the company's website this morning to check out the forums and they are all talking about how it is not gluten free.
You can bet that I'm *ANGRY* about this because *I* am sick. The Canadian government is changing the nutrition labeling laws right now. Most manufacturers are doing voluntary compliance, but apparently not all of them. No laws have been broken... but what about the ethics and morality of feeding me POISON and telling me that it is a delicious chocolate smoothie.
Well, live and learn. I guess I will just buy more delicious Taste of Nature bars, instead... They are made in a dedicated facility because they care about contamination. I wrote them a lovely thank you note for it, too!
