What have you done but offer a simpletons view?

1.) I linked to a survey that shows the vast majority of consumers are well aware the fast food they love to consumer is not healthy, yet they eat it anyway.
2.) I posted a link to FDA label requirements, which you out right dismissed even though that is what the government requires. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/UCM265446.pdf
Your response:

Who really cares what the food labeling guide currently says. It is besides the point. Why can’t you understand that? Just because something is the law does not make it right. Blacks were slaves once and it was within the law, did that make it right? Women were not allowed to vote according to law, did that make it right? [/quote]
“Just because something is the law does not make it right.” Yet you want the government, by law, to force companies to provide even more information than they already do… Of course you bring up slavery, lol. Can’t miss an opportunity to throw that BS in the thread.
3.) I posted a link to the Choose my Plate http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ a government program, supported by tax dollars, to help people make better dietary choices. Obviously the program is a failure.
4.) I’ve offered a myriad of examples of manufacturer labels as evidence that food manufactures literally provide consumers with every ingredient in the product, the nutritional breakdown, and how said values fit with the government’s suggested diet. The only thing missing is the recipe, which according to you is the key information consumers need to make informed decisions as to avoid food addiction. Utter nonsense.
5.) I’ve offered my opinion, that consumers in a free society should take responsibility for their choices.
You’ve been asked, by multiple posters, what else you want added to the label. What would be “enough.” You have not answered this very simple question.
Again, you’ve offered nothing, except:

So it is your position that it is okay for food purveyors to manipulate food ingredients for a desired response that acts on the same receptors as drugs to encourage more of that food item. This is okay even without public knowledge?

No, what we REALLY need is a warning label on meth that has the exact details on how said meth was combined/cooked because clearly meth labs everywhere are manipulating meth to increase the brains reward response and it is the governments responsibility to make the general public aware of said," manipulation by subterfuge."

This is a weak comparison as you are trying to equate the illegal with the legal.[/quote]

And the government can be trusted to police themselves? Should I bother to list the hundreds of reasons why that’s absurd? The FDA doesn’t require GMO products be labeled as such, so shouldn’t your beef be with them?

What, specifically, do you want on the food label that isn’t already there as it pertains to your original post. Was it ever answered, lol, of course not!
If all you want is “this product contains GMO” labeling, fine, let’s do that. But you have to clarify what it is you want on the damn label. [/quote]
Oh look another person asked you this question.

What ingredients in water are being manipulated to spur on addiction and at the same time this info is being hidden from the public?

It’s that Hyro-7 process bro. Makes me want water ALL DAY![/quote]
Is that Hydro-7 process activating the reward centers of the brain, making it addictive bro?[/quote]
Not sure how much more addicting water can be bro. I pray the government forces Pepsi to tell me though…[/quote]

1.)Do they know that the ingredients are being manipulated to spur on food addiction as a way to increase sales?
2.) Don’t know how many times I’ve told you this but the question isn’t about the ingredients being listed. Do the studies have anything to do with your argument?
Yes, so the law changes for the better. Blacks are no longer slaves and women can now vote. See how simple it is:)
3.) Has little if anything to do with the original post.
4.) Do consumers know about the ingredient manipulation done to spur on food addiction? I wonder who even made the food manufacture’s list the ingredients in the first place?
5.) Is it really a free choice when the consumer has no idea what is being done to their food?
When have I compared an illegal substance with some thing legal anyone at any age can buy in a store?
The points go sailing over your head as you continually post things that have nothing to do with the argument.
It’s like talking to a rock.
