In Food Labels We Trust
An example of a current nutrition facts label sits under a portrait of George Washington, at an event where U.S. first lady Michelle Obama unveiled proposed updates to nutrition facts labels during remarks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, February 27, 2014. According to the White House, the proposed label updates are intended to reflect the latest scientific information about the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease.

Well this time, “We the People” did it to themselves.
Now who do they declare independence from?

“Her phenomenal success includes fewer fat kids.. solving a problem that concerned America for decades. Not mentioned is how she did it.. parents cannot aford junk food nowadays.”
They have tried that, but I still see plenty of little fatties around. Hiding inflation to drive up junk food prices failed; when the news says there are fewer little chubbies around I prefer to believe my lying eyes...

The Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents the nation's largest food companies, described it as a "thoughtful review", though it did not say whether it would back the plan.I'm guessing that they will eventually back the plan in order to attempt to crush smaller competitors.
Nanny State PING!
