 "How many people are questioning the FDA as to why it allowed genetically engineered canola oil to sweep the American food and restaurant industry without prior testing? Public records show that the FDA knew about the Canadian research that showed mice fed with this oil developed fatal brain tumors. But the agency was not willing to give up the millions of dollars in "licensing fees" that the approval of Canola oil brought with it."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |

 "The answer lies in understanding the lobbying power of the restaurant industry.
With more and more people eating out these days, nutrition advocates—and politicians like Ortiz—are calling on fast-food and other large chain restaurants to provide information such as calorie count and fat content on menus. While packaged foods sold in retail stores are required to display a "Nutrition Facts" label, restaurants are under no similar legal obligation."- Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "Despite meeting with much resistance and ridicule, Ortiz remains undeterred even on his fourth attempt to pass the measure. The restaurant industry's lobbying strategy is geared to convincing key legislators to oppose the menu-labeling initiative. Lobbying pressure, according to Robert Stern, the program manager for the New York Assembly's Task Force on Food, Farm and Nutrition Policy, appears to have persuaded at least one New York State assembly member to withdraw her support of Ortiz's bill." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "In 1990 McDonald's (along with the rest of the restaurant industry) managed to successfully exempt itself from the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act's updated "Nutrition Facts" law, which required that all packaged foods be labeled with specific nutrition data. While the FDA sought to subject restaurants to the labeling rule as well, President George H. W. Bush's administration bowed to industry pressure." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "The glaring shortcomings of the current voluntary system of menu labeling have done little to deter the restaurant industry from insisting that it's working just fine. This rosy rhetoric has been roundly criticized by CSPI and other advocates and lawmakers who are calling on restaurants to make nutrition information clearly visible in restaurants at the point of decision-making—on menus and menu boards. Marketers call such positioning "point-of-purchase" and understand that it has the highest impact on consumer behavior, which explains why industry is so dead set against it." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) |
 "That these groups and activities exist is a sign that the business world, government leaders, and the general public believe that it is legitimate enterprise to sell products to children.

 "This subject warrants a lengthy discussion on its own, but the short version is that practically every salad dressing, baked pastry, butter spread, and dessert is going to contain hydrogenated oils and trans fats. The restaurant industry loves hydrogenated oils: they're cheap, they add calories and "fill" to foods, and they have an extended shelf life. What more could a restaurant hope for?
