I would like a law where food manufacturers must put the calories for the ENTIRE container and not what they decide is a "serving size." Serving sizes are (intentionally) misleading. The consumer can decide, given their size and appetite, what is a "serving" for them.

The whole world will be plunged into armed conflict if the international community does not reign in the state of Israel. Yes, I see a "both sides" to this thing. Israel needs security. Unfortunately people the world over will be fighting and dying on one side of the other for *their* securiry.
