More Evidence of Government Overreach

A lot of people actually like the FDA food labels that give us nutrition information.   I'm not sure how much it costs to do that - both as a taxpayer and in the increased costs for food producers.   But as I was drinking one of my favorite drinks (MINT WATER) I read the nutrition label.

Mind you that this product has two components - water and mint.  Thus, while it is quite refreshing, it has 0 calories.  (For those of you in Washington, D.C. who were surprised at the S&P credit watch announcement, that means this product has NO CALORIES).

But look at the label - 0 calories, 0 fat, 0 sodium, 0 carbohydrates and 0 protein.  All not unexpected - after all it is water.   But look at the serving size - 8 fl. oz.   Servings per container:2.

There are actually people in Washington who wonder why many Americans have questions about how much we spend out for our federal government.
