Tip of the Cap to the First Lady

Michelle Obama has launched a proposal for food label overhauls. Instead of giving stats for eating 1/3 or 1/2 the product it will reveal the amount in the total product.

It will also force the Grocery Manufacture Association to show how much total fat. saturated fats, and trans fat. Here is an example.
