    Yeah, here in Japan as well. I think really enforcing realistic serving sizes (no one is going to accurately do 0.25s) in labeling would also help the US.

      The US people? Yes
      The US corporations? No

      Who do you think matters?

        I meant help people in the US get accurate information on what they’re consuming.

          I hope that for them, they deserve that just like everybody else. But I dont have high hopes for them tbh.

      Definitely. It’s pretty egregious that they can get away with saying 0 kcal because their serving sizes are so incredibly small.

        They aren’t just getting away with it, it’s literally required. Under FDA rules, if there are less than 5 dietary calories in a serving, the label must round down to 0, which, yes, is super misleading. Murica!
