For some reason this all brings to mind the very early 1900s, when every shady food manufacturer was slapping any label of ingredients on its cans, deceiving (or at best, confusing) the public with different or convoluted definitions, arbitrary standards of quality, made up terminology, hawking their brand of particular wares as honest while the rest was not. You would be at a disadvantage to tell the truth in such an environment. And then finally the FDA came along, when people (or Congress) had had enough of it. They laid out what certain words and terms meant, and what was allowed to be claimed. Sometimes I think we forget how much this was once needed, and that it doesn't just magically solve itself.
