I'd wager it would have quite a bit more impact if all other foods had to put something like "Unhealthy!" on the nutrition info panel. Even better they could help break down the binary thinking and battles over single words and double down on something like nutrient density (quick hit from google: https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2014/13_0390.htm https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2014/13_0390.htm )
- djsavvy 2y agoI'm not quite sure about that — a lot of other countries have those sort of warning labels on foods or a comparison of the nutrition facts with healthier foods, and I'm not sure how much of an impact that label would end up having. I think it would be like the prop 65 stickers in California — it ends up becoming so ubiquitous it's effectively meaningless. I got a new espresso maker with a prop 65 label on it but am just ignoring it since I doubt it's actually leaching lead into my coffee despite the label saying it will.
- immibis 2y agoI'm not sure what the relevant law is but a lot of packaged foods here (Germany) have nutrition scores A-E displayed prominently on the front corner. Apparently it's relative to a category, so they don't end up with E on all frozen pizzas and A on all frozen veggies, but can actually be used to see which frozen pizza is healthier.
