Wait wait. Is food required to meet any specific requirements for content of vitamins, fibers etc?
Since when and how?

How can the government administer food if it doesn't meet the definitional content of food?
Wonder Bread was forced to put wood chips in their bread to satisfy the definitional food requirement of bread as having to contain SOME fiber.
The FDA has kept the Minimum Daily Requirement for human nutrition lower than healthy so that processed food manufactures could survive.
What's sold now is not a food or a drug, so the FDA has no jurisdiction.
That the FDA, in cohoots with Agenda 21, wants to limit nutritional supplements to augment the crap made and sold as food, is criminal slow genocide, but the pharm animals are getting rich on the side effects.
Pharmaceutical companies have an unholy alliance with food producers.
Hell, pharmaceutical companies ARE the "food" producers!
Failure of regulation? Do you propose we abolish vehicular traffic laws just because they fail to prevent accidents? You spewing nonsense based on some gibberish about "pure governments" and their existence.
Remember: This is the poster who tried to dodge the charge earlier in the thread that he was insinuating that lack of perfection was an excuse for advocating making things worse than they are now. Then he goes back a few hours later and executes a "nice word play" again insinuating justification for his corrupted perspective because of the failure of regulation to be perfect. Doubling down on the nonsense - I wonder if he'll aim to triple down.
No. You're talking about movements but I am asking what law or governmental regulation requires food to contain any specific levels of vitamins or other nutrients???
Remember, this is what you said:

I think it grew in the 50s and exploded in the 60s.

I was there at the time of the controversy with the Government, but I am not up to doing the research right now.
I remember though, that it came down to word definitions.
You're deflecting, you claimed that the government forced food companies to add nutrients to their products to meet some mysterious criteria and then failed to name the law or regulation that did that.

Are you a-disbelievin'?
Research it yourself.
Or, are you suggesting that public controversy caused the industry to "enrich" "food" without force?
