right, sorry but too many restaurants may not have a clue.

It is like restaurants which don't actually USE MSG but use chicken bullion cubes which themselves have MSG.

At some point there ARE some things that should be subject to regulation and/or standards.

For example O'Doules is marketed as Alchohol free but it still has alchohol in it. Enough to still be forbidden for those defendants on DUI/DWI probation.

These are not cigarettes,
These are not alchohol
These are not even carbonated soda

This is an ingredient which has dubious value.

For example there are regulations regading the amount of insect parts permitted in food. People should be free to unknowingly buy food with ground up bug parts because it is cheeper to NOT keep a factory clean?

If the science can support it, then transfats should be considered for a ban.

If they can't tell you what's in it, don't order it.

I wouldn't have a problem with a law that states restaurants have to have a list of the ingredients in anything they serve. I DO have a problem with forbidding restaurants from serving certain things.

Of course. There will always be bug parts in food, as long as food is grown out in the open. It's not a matter of keeping factories clean; it's a matter of using enough pesticides to keep most (never all) of the bugs off the food, and then processing the food to a sufficient degree to remove most (never all) of the bug parts that came into the factory with the food.

But wait! Food processing and pesticides are supposed to be bad for you too. Too bad.
