In the meantime, the Food and Drug Administration is considering a request that the government regulate salt content. An Institute of Medicine committee is also looking at ways to reduce salt consumption. The FDA says it is waiting for that committee report, due next year, before deciding the regulation issue.
They can suggest how much we should ingest all they want, and we should know how much we consume given our dietary decisions, but it should end there.

I guess you could say it's ok to force restaurants to say how much salt, but this quote from Randy's original post suggest they want to set the limits.

Quote:
City officials are meeting with food makers and restaurants to discuss reducing the amount of salt in common foods such as soup, pasta sauce, salad dressing and bread.
Huge chains like McDonalds can absorb the cost of new menus or posters and the research to determine calorie content and the amount of gludo fucking whatever they have in their food. They can comply with these dumb ass requirements and push the cost on to their fat ass consumers who don't give a shit anyway. It's the small restaurants who are just getting by, that get screwed. Crap like this can put some people out of business.

Yeah, I'm all for the FDA making sure there's only a like one rat per 1000 cans of Tuna, or 1 thumb per 10,000 boxes of Frosted Flakes or whatever..

But when it comes to how the food item is made, they should stay out of it. That's what the label is on the side for.

Soon they'll be saying that my MilkyWay has too much Caramel in it. pff

The problem is that there are no labels on the food you eat at restaurants. A lot of places are getting better at it but it would be nice to know how healthy or unhealthy something is that we're eating. Someone could make the same dish with totally different nutritional information.

Exactly, and there are numerous loopholes in nutritional reporting on food you buy at the grocery store anyway.

Have a McDonalds Apple Pie lately?

Back in the day McDonalds Apple Pies were three things:

CRISPY

FRIED

DELIGHTFUL

And that's the way we liked it.


They fucked up my fucking pie.

I think that they're still pretty good, did they only do this in certain areas?
