| Message | He's got a point. nutritional information listed is useful to dieters and weight-watchers everywhere. Not to mention health freaks and weight lifters. Taking away from this would affect all four of these groups and only all four. Adding it helps these four and, frankly, I don't see how it hurts anyone. Except printing costs, but come on, we're talking about fractions of a dollar. |

| Message | It seems like we could eliminate the fascist threat simply by outlawing food labels. |
