Guess the FDA never heard of nouvelle cuisine where you get just a dab of this and a dab of that and a drizzle of something meaningful served on a very large plate with one green onion for decoration. Nouvelle cuisine is when you better have a sandwich in your car so you don't faint from hunger [and the cost of your minimalist meal]!LOL!
Properly defined, nouvelle cuisine is:
eclectic style in international haute cuisine developed during the 1960s and '70s that stressed freshness, lightness, and clarity of flavour. In reaction to some of the richer and more calorie-laden extravagances of classic French haute cuisine, nouvelle cuisine sought to emphasize the natural flavours, textures, and colours of foodstuffs. Acknowledging the unhealthiness of a diet heavy in fats, sugars, refined starches, and salt, it minimized the use of these ingredients. Nouvelle cuisine was also influenced by the Japanese style of food presentation.Could it be that the FDA hangs out in "restaurants" where they ask if you wanna sooper size it? LOL!
