diction

you know what phrase i really distrust seeing on food labels? "and/or." whether its referring to "xanthan and/or guar gums" or "cottonseed and/or sunflower seed oils" i just really wish they would pick one and stick with it. If you run out of sunflower seed oil, buy more. yeesh.

My favorite is on cheap catfood:

Contains: Animal, Veghetable and mineral products.

It may as well say Contains: Stuff

or better still:

Ingrediants: Yes.
