"But the effort drew immediate criticism from public health experts, who said foodmakers were trying to preempt the Food and Drug Administration, which has been working on guidelines for labeling on the front of food packaging.

"You simply can't leave it to an industry with so much money at stake to label its products in a way to benefit public health," said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University."

How dare the free market come up with a solution and not wait for the details to be regulated :angry: They didn't even have a chance to write any new laws.

Thanks for posting Mission.
