kinda like when you see a model in a magazine then you see the same model in a youtube video or taken by a news reporter, you will see how the magazine photos have been enhanced to look more perfect. the same goes for food, but personally I find it deceptive.

a better solution would be for the government to pass a advertising law that if a company makes a food item, that they are required to have the advertising company take a product off a store shelf or the would be product (since it will not be released to stores yet) then they take a picture of the item and that goes on the box that way if companies what to have a good cover then they will have to actually make a good product)
