New law in Canada

I agree.. but what a pain in the butt for the company to market its product
differently from one border to another, and making it harder for us, as
consumers, to make our own choices, and it really does reek of censership.

How is it making your choices harder? Anybody trying to make good choices can
and SHOULD ignore all claims on the front, and read the fine print on the back.

I'm from Montreal, canada, and low-carbing since few months.

Yesterday I read in the newpaper that they will, in december2005,
bannish
all products that are low-carb, and it will be bannish to wrote on a
product
the number of carb it contains!!!! They say that there are no proof that
low-carb products are good for the health and that's why they will
bannish
them!!! I think that's completly ridiculous! We have the right to decide
what we want to eat or not!!!

Hum!

I don't think that they are banishing all things low-carb. I believe
that they are prohibiting labels that trumpet products as low-carb.

The amounts of carbs will still be shown on the labels along with
calories, proteins, fats etc.

They should be fair and get rid of "low fat," too. They should also say,
"high sugar" and "filled with processed crap like hydrogenated oils and
high fructose corn syrup" and "this crap really isn't fit for human
consumption, but we're feeding it to you because it's low fat/low carb"
and "because the list of ingredients is written in 5-point font and
contains words only a chemist could love, you really shouldn't eat this."

I hear ya', bud.
