i dont see the slippery slope argument you ran out as being particularly germaine, ng.
you don't see the the various massive corporate farming subsidy programs the united states has had in place for decades now an official policy directed toward a particular set of dietary choices? you dont see in already existing legal standards that define categories and stipulate what types of nutritional values are to be emphasized what you are afraid will follow from laws like this one? for example, in both the us and england right now there is tremendous pressure being brought to bear on regulatory agencies to redefine the category "organic" so that the growth in demand for such products can be streamed into the already existing mass production-based food system...what is that but a lobying effort undertaken by large-scale firms to change the legal framework within which they operate?
the laws that you are afraid of are already fully in place: the policies that you are afraid of have been shaping mass market dietary choices for many years...so i really do not understand why you would react as you do to this law, as if with it the legal framework behind a particular sequence of food choices was suddenly getting started.
