Most of the legislation passed was not to control what people could do but to give them information so they can make informed choices. If they are permitted to lie on labels then where do you go from there and that was the problem.
I hope you don't enjoy being lied to, I know I don't. If I see a label that says it contains X amount of sodium I want to know it is correct. You know a product like Pam says on their label that it has zero calories.
People spray it all over stuff thinking it has no calories when it is exactly the same as butter. One spray is so little that if you call it a serving size it is low enough to call it zero according to regulations. Of course we know people will saturate what ever they stray it on, not use one spray.
They just don't know it so it still is going on today, lying to the public and getting away with it. Want to make the calories in a can of soda 40% lower, just put in small print on the back of the can a smaller serving size.
Than in big letters on the front write 40% lower in calories.
