It’s a wonder Americans can actually get any good health advice when everything is a marketing gimmick or flat out lie. But when our own government is just rolling over while businesses legally poison the majority of the population is just insane to me. We don’t have to stop individuals making their own choices to fight back against some of this insanity. And proper information is a good starting point. No more deceptive advertising. No more saying your cheese when you’re not. No more “Wyngs” or other bullshit naming only designed to deceive.
I think the FTC should crack down on deceptive advertising too.

But these are not the most pressing issues. Call your product whatever name you want, I just want to know exactly what’s in it.
I agree that calling something “cheese” when it’s “dehydrated oil shreds” or something is deceptive. Saw that today at Whole Foods. No, it’s not healthier; it just doesn’t have dairy.
Lack of dairy or gluten doesn’t make things healthier. Those ingredients aren’t replaced with air. They’re usually replaced with something that sounds disgusting. But food companies don’t want to put that on the package so they list what it doesn’t have.
Start by not allowing the Department of Agriculture a say in food classification anymore. Not since they decided pizza was a vegetable.
