I don’t have a problem with labels being required. I do have a problem with banning things like trans fats. If someone wants to eat them, knowing they are there, they should be able to go for it.

I look at labels on food packages all the time. A lot of valuable information on them for diabetics, food allergy sufferers, phenylketonuronics, dieters, etc. There was a time when there was no info on food products found in groceries.

Would you people have complained about an overreaching government when food labeling was first required by law? I’m sure many of you probably read the labels.

In my opinion, information is always a good thing. Additionally, I don’t think restaurant chains would have done this voluntarily.
