The government-mandated fine print on the back of the box is there for a reason. If you're not willing to take the time to read it, and not willing to take the time to cook what you want from basic ingredients, then you've decided that you value time more than your health. Which is something you're allowed to do, but don't complain because you didn't think things through.

This is not the 1800s. I'd assume that everyone alive today knows that packaging is a form of advertising and therefore comes with marketing spin which walks a fine line between misleading and lying outright. Should the government regulations about advertising be tightened? Probably, but in the meanwhile, exercise common sense and assume it's all lies.
