There's a Dutch food manufacturer who produces a kind of snack bar which is advertised as "a nutritious and healthy snack". The thing actually contains about a third of the amount of energy the average person needs in a day. Obviously, snacking on these things will make you fat in no time.
Chupa Chups advertise for their lollipops with a commercial in which a professional soccer player explains why lollipops (almost pure sugar) are good for children's health.
Most high calorie products are advertised with lines like "gives you lots of energy". Products with craploads of sugar are advertised with "low in fat".
The corporate misinformation about food literally has billions a year in funding (all advertising for junk food). Some simple government campaigns are no match for that.

Yeah take a look at any Snickers commercial...they are actually suggesting you use it as a pick me up, or filler when you miss meals...it's quite crazy.
