Yup, sums it up nicely. 

Big Food is not your friend.

I'm all for choice, as an adult, if you want to digest vegetable oils, it should be your choice. Not a fan of banning stuff. But... allow people to make an informed decision, have it clearly state on the package, like they do with cigarettes in Europe.

True but getting that proper information is the trick when everyone who’s making a profit from it keeps lying about it.

Maybe regulate the marketing instead of the product, some claims could not be made, for example. But if you pay the FDA enough money, you can claim it gives you wings.

The responsibility is at the doctors and dieticians. They make the claims and should be held accountable. But the choice is not the problem in my view. Now, we could ban the use of certain chemicals in "foods" etc, I am all for that. But any food with more than 3 or 4 ingredients, should be avoided regardless. By default such food is detrimental to ones health.
