"Despite evidence to the contrary, fast-food franchisees say wage hikes will affect their bottom line." These are small privately run businesses we are talking about. #policynews

DietID_TeamDietitians this is such an important discussion, because a lot of 'small businesses' in America are actually franchises - where the independent business owner absorbs all risk. As someone who grew up in a...

Such an important issue- people need to be educated about their food! "Concerned shoppers say the FDA should ban the word." #foodnews

munchiemummy I hope it does get banned. It's such a marketing scam and so upsetting to think how people who *want* to make better choices about their food, are being misled.
-
annefood The King of empty phrases!

etsummer I think we need a whole labeling overhaul! So many buzz words and even images/seemingly official badges and 'certifications' that don't really mean anything.

Based on the current FDA definition, avocados aren't healthy but poptarts are healthy. Needless to say, 'healthy' needs to be revisited, but can it be defined? How would you define it?
