involvement in the reform of health care?
HR 3962 (page) 1511
1 (b) LABELING REQUIREMENTS.—Section 403(q)(5)
2 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
3 343(q)(5)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
4 ''(H) RESTAURANTS, RETAIL FOOD ESTABLISH-
5 MENTS, AND VENDING MACHINES.—
6 ''(i) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RES-
7 TAURANTS AND SIMILAR RETAIL FOOD ESTABLISH-
8 MENTS.—Except for food described in subclause
9 (vii), in the case of food that is a standard menu
10 item that is offered for sale in a restaurant or simi-
11 lar retail food establishment that is part of a chain
12 with 20 or more locations doing business under the
13 same name (regardless of the type of ownership of
14 the locations) and offering for sale substantially the
15 same menu items, the restaurant or similar retail
16 food establishment shall disclose the information de-
17 scribed in subclauses (ii) and (iii).
The government is now going to tell restaurants what they have to put on the menu... What vending machine owners have to explain to the idiots what it is they are buying... What is that going to do to prices...?
edit: Yes, I'm reading this bill...
