How about stricker food guidelines like in Europe? Food label print is already too small and written without contrasting ink. Black print on red labels are impossible to read and the literacy rate in this country has fallen This propsed action by the government is lame and, while it may initially burden the company packaging processes, it still caters to the interest of the companies and not the health and welfare of public. "Caveat Emptor" or "buyer beware" isn't the way our food supply should be handled.

Eat only real food for 2 weeks, and see how you feel. No processed garbage. Make it yourself.

Why not list the harms from chemical ingredients in foods as well.

They need to stop putting high fuctrose corn syrup in everything they don't do that in other countries.

The FDA and big pharma and insurance co.'s holding hands! I do wonder if we had gov. Sponsored health care would that sleezy, greedy bond be broken? Knowing that the taxpayer would be paying for health care, then maybe they and the Gov. would be demanding better quality in food. Many US companies sell in other markets (Europe, Asia etc) and are not allowed to inject those toxins in the food there.

How about we start with the level of heavy metals in our food!

Ban harmful CHEMICALS like Europe does!

Labels? Oh my how this falls short. We need nothing short of a full transition of food production. Grains shouldn't be the majority of our calories.

The Task Force always gives different protocols than a medical discipline does. I think their only goal is keeping mortality rates and costs lower, not keeping people healthier.

Decent point that there might be disagreements between government agency staff and people on the ground in industries that they oversee, BUT do you honestly think members of CONGRESS know more about any of these industries than agency staffers?! Nope, nope, nope.

Non farmers making policy that affect farmers makes no sense

Let's redo studies and research that are not funded by heavily sugared/seed oils industries. I'm glad it was brought up in this episode. The reason the government pushed this way of eating is to produce food for 'mass production' for a mass population. Also, doctors do not treat to cure, they push pills from big pharma - the government does not have our best interest at heart. Do research and eat whole foods. There are so many factors!

Just sickening

Cancer is appearing earlier because obesity on sets earlier and earlier. Physical activity is declining earlier- this has other benefits in addition to reducing obesity. No, it’s not about what’s added to food. Is has been getting cleaner and cleaner so has water and air. The link is lack of activity and obesity, which I suspect is also increasing poor mental health

The problem is that the entire labeling system is built on absolutely broken nutrition "science". All those daily values are calculated for 18-year-old male soldiers who are in active war time. If you aren't in that category, the Recommended Daily Values don't really apply to you... And that is just one of a billion problems with how we are handling food science and labels. If you thought the C■VID "science" was bad, wait until you dig into U.S. nutritional guideline history...
