Thanks, FDA: A Trip to the Grocery Store May Soon Cost More

Thanks to the FDA’s menu labeling provision in ObamaCare, which targets restaurant chains and grocery stores, consumers may soon have to pay a little more at the checkout counter.
The proposed regulation would require store owners to label prepared, unpackaged foods found in salad bars and food bars, soups and bakery items. Erik Lieberman, regulatory counsel at the Food Marketing Institute, said testing foods for nutritional data will require either expensive software or even more costly off-site laboratory assessments.

Lieberman said failure to get it right comes with stiff penalties: "If you get it wrong, it's a federal crime, and you could face jail time and thousands of dollars worth of fines."

There will never be enough prisons for all of us, so the must sentence us to all this section 8 housing they are building, or just kill us off! Everyone will be guilty of something sooner or later.

Actually, I estimate that I commit about 100 criminal acts each day just following a regular routine like everybody else, about half of them driving my car (speed limit 50; speedo creeps up to 52), tires creep over the solid line, not a dead, complete stop out in the middle of nowhere, forget head lights in rain, etc. etc.
