	danadd1.htm: Dangerous food additives (reversing labels) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Food labelling has always been object of fierce struggles between regulators (that at times wish to limit, at least a little, the 'licence to kill' of the big food processing corporations) and the food producers and resellers, that want -obviously- just to make profit, if necessary over the dead bodies of their own customers.
		Reading the European Union's directives on food labelling, it is pretty easy to see how much any proposed increase in 'transparence' on food labels annoys the 'market forces' and the 'experts of the concerned sectors': these pigs don't WANT you to know what's inside their products...
		In fact the 'market forces' are annoyed by the food labels themselves: I remember that when the 'end date' on food products became compulsory in Europe they tried to avoid this and had success in delaying the introduction of the compulsory 'end date' labelling for years.
