They so want to increase their costs, eliminate fillers and additives, replace preservatives with warnings and antioxidants.
Ice cream will be $22 a half gallon!

I am no fan of impurities in food, but they are to some considerable extent a compromise with cost, shelf life, flavor. They've been eliminated based on adverse consequences - red dye, trans fats. Not that there's not a lot more to go. But to think Worm Man will eliminate problems and get the US government out of the inspection business and that everything is going to be OK is DELUSIONAL. Paging Upton Sinclair! We fought this war 100 years ago.
