Exceso Calorias - Can We Get Black Box Warnings on Our Food?

By: Michael Beiter

Excesso Calorias.

One of my clients in Mexico sends me pictures of their food labels.

They warn of high calories, sugar, and fat on the FRONT of packaged foods in black box warnings similar to the ones we slap on tobacco products.

They're trying to inform consumers of the foods they're buying!

This would be great to bring to the states.

Consumer advocates have been pushing for such changes to our labeling system. They get shot down every time by big food lobbyists.

Imagine entire aisles of the grocery store covered with black box warnings looking you in the face. I'm here for it.
