Food that's not 75%+ additives and synthetic chemicals? Nonsense, pure fantasy. Where would one acquire such ambrosia? [/sarcasm]
Honestly though, I think it's really funny the circle this type of industry has wrought.
They went "OMG! Lard and fat and sugar as stuff is bad! We need alternatives..."
So, they thought up partially hydrogenated oils to replace lard and butter, they made a billion syrups to replace sugar, etc etc.
They thought they did a good thing, now we're finding out that stuff is about 2x as bad as the stuff they were trying to replace.
The REALLY sad part is a lot of the replacements are not only worse for you than the thing they replaced, most of them don't 'fill' you like the originals, either, so you end up eating more of them, too. So, in practice they're even worse than we think!
Too bad it's so hard/expensive to find 'real' food anymore. <!-- s

It, for me at least, often comes down to figuring out which item is this lesser of two evils:
"Hmmm, which of these foods has LESS of the harmful additives that are slowly killing me?" <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x -->
