Back in November, the FDA gave the food industry two months to submit comments before they took any action. Apparently that has been extended. But the extension was only until March, which has long since passed:

Does the FDA work for US citizens or the food industry? A while back, the FDA made a statement that the food industry would have to change their nutritional labels, but they had two years to implement the changes. Two years??
I'm losing faith in the FDA, I think they are owned by the food industry.

palm oil too. I have used Hollywood brand safflower oil, expeller pressed for 30 years.

I have problems with prices and settle for things not so good for me at times.

I usually can adjust most tastes, most items, most recipes.

But I choose my poisons also. Sometime this summer I intend to get a gallon of mixed full fat ice cream from the multi flavor place.
