do you honestly think I give a rat's patootie how many calories are in it?Another useless freedom-robbing “gift” from Obama, Inc.
What a waste of time and money
Unless I’m dieting, not much will deter me from eating high-calorie foods when I’m going out to eat. I’m not going out to eat tofu and carrot sticks at a restaurant.
McDonalds should say, “Sorry, not worth our while. All stores are closed. All employees are fired. Have a nice day. See you in the next world.”
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regardless what FDR’s activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers when it wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in corrupt Congress’s favor in 1942, these misguided justices wrongly ignored the following. They ignored that the Supreme Court had previouly clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And to me, while I agree with this new rule in principle, when the feds start telling restaurants what to put on their menus, that’s unconstitutional federal interference with intrastate commerce.
I wonder if FLOTUS is behind this?
They already have this in Commieforina.
Nobody even notices or cares.
Waste of time, non productive busy work.
Nanny State PING!
So how’s that supposed to work at my local Waffle House, where I custom order my breakfasts, instead of some fast food joint where the customer just orders #3?
Well, well. After Ladybird Johnson went on a crusade to do away with billboards, it looks like they are going to make a comeback—either that, or microprinting is going to be in vogue...
I already know that the old hamburger Happy Meal from McD’s with a diet drink, is 350 calories. Which you can cut by 75 calories using only half the bun.
Subway has been printing that info on their subs since Jarred used them to lose weight.
I’d much rather they tell me what country it is from and if there is Paint Thinner in the breakfast cereal I buy for my grandson. Instead of hiding it by it’s chemical name! Or if the dairy I buy has growth hormones in it. He certainly does NOT need it.
I already know how to ration portions, snacks, etc. As I am forced to read all those labels for health reasons.
Why is Paint Thinner in children’s cereal?

Ditto goes for the dog food I buy having antifreeze in it.

If they wanted to regulate a food, they need to regulate those nasty ENSURE style drinks they force feed seniors. And Hospital patients. NASTY tasting CRAP! To high in sugars (carbs) to high in Sodium. What are all those strange words?
Click on ingredients list, can some one decode it? I know the sugars, vits/mins and Oils. Rest is Greek. I’m supposed to drink 2 of these NASTY high sugar, high sodium drinks per day. NO WAY IN HADES! Sodium exceeds my allowable intake, the to sweet makes me puke. And I can taste the chems. I’m not allowed SOY either. But notice it is in the product.

Awesome - now I can frugally purchase the most calories for my dollar!
do you honestly think I give a rat's patootie how many calories are in it?So they post calories. What does it mean? I hardly ever hit the daily 20,000 calorie allowance anyway.
FDA should be called FBS. Far Behind Science.
Calories, ha. What an old fashioned, stupid way to attempt health.
It would be far better to list which items contained or were cooked in rancid seed oils. That is the key to avoiding inflammation.
Smart people DO want to know how many calories they are getting for their dollar.
“The idea is that people may pass on that bacon double cheeseburger at a chain restaurant, hot dog at a gas station or large popcorn at the movie theater if they know that it has hundreds of calories.”
Only those with weight problems- and idiots.
