What in the world does politics have to do with this?

Your statement of 100% true, but 100% deceptive. That's what. Was the product evaporated cane juice or not? What prevented this moron from searching for "Evaporated Cane Juice" if she was concerned about it?

If I said my product contained sodium chloride evaporated from sea water, would I be sued because some idiot didn't know that was salt?

The purpose of a nutritional label is to convey information to consumers, in a manner that consumers can make informed choices. It is not there to act as marketing information, nor is it there to show off one's cleverness. If you call "salt" "sodium chloride evaporated from sea water", then you are using the nutritional label not to convey information, but rather to conceal it. You know perfectly well that virtually 100% of people know what salt is, but that a much smaller percentage know what "sodium chloride evaporated from sea water" is. I am not saying that what you are doing is illegal (I have no idea) -- what I do know is that it would be an attempt at deception, it would be an attempt to conceal the type of information that nutritional labels are supposed to convey, and that there is no reason to choose that particular wording other than to deceive. As I said, it may or may not be illegal. But it would certainly be unethical.

Much like a liberal.
