Why the heck do the trade associations even have a say in this ? What are they going to say, yes sugar is bad for you so tell the public not to buy our products ? They should have NO say whatsover in determining government's food policy. ZERO. If you forgive me this example, It's as if you are having a debate to determine the fate of a person's soul and would turn to the devil and say...hey what do you think we should do.

This is damn near corruption and I don't know why more people aren't up in arms about this. It just confirms the fact that the governement is run by and for special interest groups, not the greater good.
