The FDA is developing front-of-package labels that corporations may have to start printing as early as 2027

The fuck? Food nutrition labels weren’t REQUIRED until 1993?
The US lives in a weird food bubble where they eat absolute cancer inducing garbage and pretend their Cheetos Asbestos Blasted Quattro Dioxin dinner is somehow better lmao.
The US allows all sorts of fucked up processing steps and ingredients that are straight up banned in Europe.
Every time an American leaves the country they gush about how good the food in (destination) was - but they only ate tourist trash the whole time.
Like they genuinely don’t realize it, it’s incredible.
The food and beverage industry feeds Americans garbage our entire lives to save on food costs, then the healthcare industry bankrupts us when we get sick after a lifetime of eating and drinking mass quantities of sugar and various poisons.

Please help me understand why there’s a trash can by your comment as though you deleted it, but your comment is still visible
Not sure. Maybe because I am on kbin?
Also the down votes don’t show up here.
Interesting federated world we live in now
If you have ate vegetables as most have had them they are gross.
Yeah, “vegetable medley” from a school cafeteria is a special kind of disgusting. Even restaurants will serve gross canned green beans or bland boiled veggies. If you don’t learn to cook for yourself it’s easy to never learn that veggies can actually taste good and don’t have to be treated as a necessary evil.
Trump will wipe all these out. Sad.
I still believe that it’s going to be a tough battle but Biden is going to win again.
More information will not change the system.
“People really do struggle in the real world to interpret percent daily value,” says Marissa G Hall, a professor of health behavior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health.
So people can’t interpret the information already, but this time we’ll give them the right information?
Putting all the responsibility onto individuals changes very little. Pricing and where subsidies go might be able to change eating habits.
As early as that? Golly
Not if Trump wins.
