This is a major factor driving the new regulation. Government and business decided you did not have the freedom to decide what was in food products when they refused to add "trace amounts" of trans fat to labels. Instead the government conspired with the food industry to allow the fraudulent claim of "0%" to be used. That is the real case of the government determining what you can and can not eat. The misstated labels have been tricking citizens into eating an unhealthy commercial product against their will by lying on the labels. This law fixes that injustice and fraud.
And you would have a point IF the FDA were thinking about reworking the label requirements for such foods. They are not though.
I fully support requiring labels on food to include a warning label that this shit might kill you slapped right across the front of the package. Even require it to cover half the front of the package as well – whatever informs the customer of what they are purchasing. HOWEVER – that still allows the customer to purchase it. What a concept – freedom to buy and consume what you will AND the proper information supplied so that people understand what they are doing.
