Big Food corporations like #Kellogg's are lobbying against the #FDA's new "healthy" food labeling guidelines and threatening to sue, claiming that the guidelines infringe on their corporate "free speech" rights. 🧵
Of course, that claim is complete BS. Corporations like Kellogg's are fighting to be able to continue to mislead the public about the healthiness of their ultra-processed, pesticide-laced, GMO junk food-like products coated with GMO sugar, which are anything but healthy.
The proposed FDA rule mandates that foods labeled as healthy must contain a major food group — such as dairy, fruits, or whole grains — and must fit certain limits on saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.
The rule limits cereals, for example, to no more than 2.5 grams of sugar per serving in order to be labeled as healthy — a restriction food manufacturers claim would exclude over 95 percent of ready-to-eat cereals on the market.
GMO junk food-like products coated with GMO sugar, which are anything but healthy. The only label that should be going onto boxes of their junk is "#GMO #JUNKFOOD - NOT HEALTHY - BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK"
