Comments on: Should Government force junk food manufacturers to add nutrients and vitamins to their products debate? http://www.threewrongs.com/health/nutrition/should-government-force-junk-food-manufacturers-to-add-nutrients-and-vitamins-to-their-products-debate/ A debate where everyone tries to be right, but all three sides can be wrong.

It is stupid to force companies to do this sort of thing. If you don't like the fact that you get no nutrients from a candy bar, then don't eat the candy. I like a piece of chocolate once in a while, but I have the self control to go for a piece of fruit first. It should be the right of the company to produce whatever they want, as long as they are not adding poisons to the product. Leave the junk food alone!

I'm all for restaurants posting nutrition information of the food they serve. What I don't want is companies advertising otherwise unhealthy food as the "healthy alternative" because some small amount of vitamins have been added. I agree that information is good.

Information is never a bad thing. Read at your pleasure or ignore it at your leisure; your choice.

I suppose some water and a salad on the menu will make some government employees happy. I say let people make what they want and let people eat any crap they want.

The thoughs I have are: Why not. No difference to me. But on the other hand, will people just end up eating more Junk Food thinking it is healthy. In the end, the consumer will likely 'eat' the cost.
