AmericanThinker: New nutritional label guidelines have been finalized by the FDA and many scientists are saying they are not based on sound science.
The altered nutritional labels are part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative.
“I am thrilled that the FDA has finalized a new and improved Nutrition Facts label that will be on food products nationwide,” Mrs. Obama said in a statement. “This is going to make a real difference in providing families across the country the information they need to make healthy choices.”
In her remarks, Mrs. Obama called the added sugar change to the label the “most important of all.”
The regulation requires calorie amounts to be larger, and companies will have two years to begin including “added sugars” in order to “help consumers know how much sugar is added to the product during the processing of foods,” the White House said.
A letter critical of the new label signed by a dozen scientists, including Roger Clemens, a member of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, and Eric A. Decker, the head of the Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts, was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget. The scientists said the new label is “misleading,” and note that it was based on the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, whose committee did not include a single expert on sugars.
She’s a bit old, he she’s thinking is a little outdated:

The government is going to provide guidance for my nutrition???
The same government that had 4,000 people backed up in a security check point in Chicago?
The same government that has run up $20 Trillion in debt
The same government that has $200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities
The same government that feels the need to regulate puddles of water
The same government that controls education and health care
Need I go on?
I think I’ll do my own nutrition guidance and MM’s Rule #1 is avoid processed foods as much as possible.
Let’s Moo.
Mountains of bull shiite. The gubmint says eat less or no meat for ‘sustainability’ and a lower environmental impact. What happy crap.
Eugenia’s advice: Eat real food including butter and red meat. Don’t forget the bacon.

We just discovered the Ozone layer, it’s got holes in it; must be our fault
We aren’t in an ice age anymore; must be our fault

The Earth will be encased in Ice by 2000
The Earth will be like hot like Venus by 2000
Population will reach 20 billion by 2000
Famine will kill 10 billion by 2000

Telling Moose the Michelin Man she can’t have seconds is detrimental to one’s health.
Sadly, the FDA forgot to mention that Sugar Free Squash Blossoms prevent arthritis, dementia, laziness, neurasthenia, depression, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and most other sorts of death and disease . . . for a few minutes, anyway. Guaranteed!
Fat is good for you. In other words eat the way your grandparents, great grandparents did until the finger wagging government got involved in nutrition. These are bright brains who push the goodness of olive oil and give the thumbs down to lard which is 70% the same fats as olive oil.

First Sasquatch knows nothing about human nutrition. Mooch may be domesticated enough to prefer junk food, but what does that tell you.
