Show such an intent to defraud in fine print mandatory food labeling. In fact, the state could even be partly liable to see that the mandated label is correct.

I don't think a company would willfully put something into a food that is harmful. I do think as long as they don't know what it does, the stuff gets into the meal. Ignorance is bliss, in other words. My point which seems to be forgotten is a lot of foods are advertised as low-fat but then they put an unknown into the mix and people are under the mistaken idea they can get away with treating it without some sort of caution.

Hey, it's low fat. Now you can enjoy it without a worry. Wrong.

I already know what this garbage can do to you. No matter what the companies try to call it, it's still junk food. I'm going to start searchiing the tiny labels they put on this stuff. If you don't, that's your choice.

Why would a fine print in a contract be fraud? Isn't it your responsibility to make sure you're not cheated? I could even write it in Latin. Isn't that the same as a lay person having any idea of what Hydrogenated oil is?

Why would the fine print in a contract saying "no matter how much you pay me, the item reverts back to me in two months", -- be fraud?

"Isn't it your responsibility to make sure you're not cheated?"

Obviously, if there was a meeting of the minds as to that point of the contract, it wouldn't be fraud..

-- You just made 'Tree of Liberties' original point.. It's your responsiblity to 'see' to what you eat, not the states.
