they aren't actually adding the daily value to sugar are they?
how the fuck did that get past sugar lobbyists?

corporations buying out american politicians.
you can't bribe the person who enforces the law, but it's totally legal to bribe the person who makes the law.

That looks really good. Very clean and neat, and it's incredibly clear what's in it. I think it will probably help, but only in people already concious of these things, rather than Fatso

i enjoy the fucking B I G calories, will hopefully help people understand what the most important aspect is

no because fat people don't care about nutritional value

This
fat people aren't even going to look at it

we need a captcha on food that makes people enter in the number of calories before they can open it.

They might care when their favorite snacks show sugar percentages at 150% of their daily intake

Why have the kilojoules on there?

Not really useful for consumers

>implying they actual read it

When I was a semi fat ass I would never look at the nutrition.

It wasn't until I started getting fit that I started looking at it

>Learn everything about nutrition from the internet, in kcals

You have to understand the EU is entirely utlitarian in its ultimate world view and wants to crush anything that is not metric

Nobody reads them or understands them now, no one will in the future. Only a multibillion dollar advertising campaign over a short period of time would make any difference and the sugar lobby would never allow anyone to say added sugars are bad.

The label changes are just the pathetic attempt by the leeches in government to justify their salaries. Imagine being the fucking loser with nothing to contribute besides "let's move the percentages to the left where it doesn't make sense that will make people healthier xDDDD."

no because they should put that shit right on the front of the box in even BIGGER letters. Thats how stupid the average person is at paying attention when eating

The worst are energy drinks where one small bottle alledgedly contains 2 servings

No, because niggers and spics don't read and can't do math, and they are the majority of the obese in america. So long as they can get chicharrones and flaming hot cheetos and fanta and schlitz on their ebt, there's no help for the problem.
