Michelle Obama will make the announcement, the public gets 90 days to say "no thanks", then the FDA, like the rest of the federal government will ignore the people and enact the regulation anyway.

Amerika.

Currently, manufacturers get to choose their serving size. And ingredients that fall below a certain threshold per serving don’t have to be listed.

A lot of people, for example, are trying to avoid trans fats. And they assume that if the label says “0 trans fats”, there are no trans fats in it. That’s not the case. If the label says “0 trans fats”, that means that there are no more than 0.5 grams of trans fats per serving. So it’s not only possible, but quite likely, that when the manufacturer modified the product so that it now had “0 trans fats”, all they really did was lower the serving size.

One of the few legitimate government regulations is to provide accurate consumer information.

I’d add a regulation that says that in ingredient lists, all sugars must be aggregated.

Consider something like fig newtons breakfast cereal is much the same, as are many processed foods. What they say:

Organic figs, stone-ground whole wheat flour, dehydrated cane juice, dextrose, crystallized beet extract, maltose, corn syrup...

What they should say:
SUGAR (cane juice, corn syrup...), figs, wheat flour.

Really? This is going to help the low-info Dem-voting welfare Mom with 4 b@stards in tow and no Daddies in the home to use her EBT/Our Tax Dollars, more wisely?

I highly doubt it.

Moms that already are feeding their families ON THEIR OWN DIME already know this stuff, Mooch! Those other Moms are going to continue to feed their babies a steady diet of Doritoes and Mountain Dew!

Right where you want them! What a bunch of smoke & mirrors. Oh, she’s sooooooo compassionate! Our MOST compassionate FLOTUS - EVER! *SPIT*

Go away!
