Most items would not be labeled high fat/salt/sugar, but a few things would. Would it not help guide people to healthier alteratives? As for fast food, this still helps quite a bit. You know how places like McDonalds, or Wendy's have those cheap "healthy" snack wraps? Guess what, the amount of salt in them greatly exceeds that of a big mac. I didn't know that until I took a good look at the nutrition menu, and I'm sure most don't. Eating Nutritionally doesn't mean you don't enjoy your food LOL. There are plenty of burger joints which taste much much better then McDonalds and are a lot healthier. |
Man you really hate salt. I salt everything from burgers to mashed potatoes. 
I don't believe labeling things like that as "WARNING: HIGH SALT/FAT CONTENT" will help at all. Most people will find it amusing more than a serious health risk. Most people only eat out occasionally and are generally pretty healthy and the fat ones don't care. People eat what they want, regardless.
Tax, labels, whatever isn't going to help IMO.
