Freshly-Cooked Censorship!

John Stossel reports that creating a new food in today’s environment may be more difficult than you can imagine.

“Would the government let you describe it?” Stossel asks. The answer is no, as was the case with Ketan Vakil, who started a company to sell Low-FODMAP foods, an acronym for sugars prevalent in garlic, onions and foods such as apples and honey.

Vakil attempted to describe the foods on the package label, but he was prevented in doing so by the government, who said it wasn’t on their list of terms to put on a label. In other words, more censorship from Big Brother. Here’s Stossel’s report.
