What's with advertisers? I've seen this commercial for Maple Leaf ham a few times, and recently, I took my exception to its content out on my other (better?) half. She took exception to me taking my exception out on her. Ack. Now I'll have to eat crow (instead of Maple Leaf's yummy, "natural" ham).

Basically, the ad says that Maple Leaf ham contains only "natural ingredients". What does this actually mean? Mercury is a natural substance. However, I'd suggest (and most in the medical field will agree) you ingest as little of it as possible.

Please note that I don't particularly want to pick on Maple Leaf (I actually buy a lot of their products). I just take exception to how most advertisers present information in a way that gives them too much latitude in what they actually have to deliver. If Maple Leaf meant healthy, organic, or some other, more-relevant-to-food adjectives, then they should just say so.

Hmph.
