we want not only calorie labeling, more so g.m.o. labeling.

[dsfoto]

Its about raising the cost of food this bureaucracy is bs

[BradGibbs]

I do not care about the labeling on drugs or e-cigarettes. What the FDA needs to answer to is the amount of lawsuits and the amount of times of day the drugs are being advertised on television per day and the anger it's causing.

[ffchick]

Wish they would put sodium amount as well

[michaeltrudell]

This lunitic commissioner is assuming that people care. Leave us alone. We don't need a nanny; especially from government!

Remember, Nicotine is why people smoke or vape. High nicotine content allows one to inhale less, to be satisfied.

[thrummer]

High Fructose corn syrup, is not a natural food, and should be eliminated. The widespread use of High fructose corn syrup ( not to be confused with ordinary corn syrup ) roughly coincides with the start of the obesity epidemic.

I need to know the ingredients! Not the calories don’t matter as much as horrible additives, ingredient choices, and allergies!

[rhodyreport]

I'm more concerned about what is being sprayed in our skies!!!!

[scotshuthats]

Reducing caloric intake alone? Seditary people need to move. Sitting is the new smoking.

[lindaclark]

People should already know what the calorie count of their food is.

[walsh]

So the fda is ok with actual smoking but not E smoking ggg wonder what influences that decision $$$

[jucadvgv]

some places already do this, and i just ignore it because it's simply annoying. since i have food allergies, though, what i would be interested in is a list of ingredents.

[thrummer]

Use Hemp oil as the carrier fluid for e-cigs, instead of glycerin. And keep the nicotine high, so folks don't have to inhale as much.

[A_Random_Person]

In addition to the quantity of calories, I would also focus on the quality of calories.

[grimgrin]

How about rescheduling marijuana. How do you expect anyone to believe you about anything when you list pot as one of the most dangerous drugs? Makes you look like a liar or a dolt. Which is it?

[geoffgeoff]

I'm a diabetic, so it's a minefield out thar in restaurants. I'm a yuge tipper when the Waiter understands my query as to 'added sugar?' with aplomb. Even better when the menu simply has a low carb section....

[TruthMatters]

Nothing like going blind trying to read Small print, think you could put larger text on your labels?

[Rya_N]

Salad is the fattiest item on restaurant menus

[loboblue]

"It comes from the Affordable Care Act". Therefore, it's all bullshit.The reform of the menus will increase the prices of these foods. Mind your own business and leave the people ALONE!!
