Government Busts National Fitness Guru for Peddling Bogus “Diet” Pastries

fitness-fraud.jpgWho says there is no food justice in Hungary? According to a long and probing story yesterday on index.hu, Hungary’s competition office has slapped a Ft 3 million (roughly €11,000) fine on “Fitness” Norbi Schobert (left, with his wife and fellow fitness guru Réka Rubint) for making a bunch of totally unsubstantiated claims about the supposedly healthy and dietetic baked goods sold by his company Update Zrt. Among the howlers Norbi made was that some of his pastries contained no carbohydrates – and thus were especially suitable for diabetics – even though it just wasn’t true. Talk about tasteless!

    I always wondered about that silly name “Norbi update”, now I know where it’s from.

    Doe any body really buy (and eat) that crap ?
