Ah, good old class action lawsuit. If Kellogs pays up, everybody who was wronged will get $5.68 deposited in their checking account. Awesome!

If that. Given how many different people have likely bought strawberry poptarts at some point, I'd be very surprised if dividing up $5 million results in more than a dollar for any of them, even before taking into account the lawyers' cut.

Yes, and I think it's about time that it stop.

It needs to have certain limits placed on it, definitely, but it's unrealistic to expect food to always look like the pictures. Food just isn't that consistent, plus photographing food requires a whole bunch of tricks to get an appetizing picture (like using white glue instead of milk for cereal because milk would curdle under camera lights). Heck, even just photographing it in better lighting than what you're seeing it under when you eat it can create an apparent difference. You're never going to get a perfect representation of the product in promotional images.

Now, is there room to improve? Probably. Just don't expect it to get all that much better even if a large push for that does happen.
