If they're selling poison under the guise of food, then they should change. Other than trans-fat shortenings and maybe HFCS, I don't think that's the case. Regardless, I call your prediction. Won't happen.


It would seem that it's already happening. You may feel that salt is "poison", but that is not well established. Even if it were, it's hard to argue that this isn't the Therapeutic State in action (Thomas Szasz's term for totalitarianism in the name of public health). It appears we will all be forced to eat healthily (according to some governmental definition), whether we wish to or not. I'm not even surprised it is happening so quickly. What surprises me is that people still refuse to see the monster of collectivism until it's too late.

Gee. Darn. More poison. Still, won't happen.
