@goaty A year or so ago, my country passed a new law that requires proccessed food's packaging the inclusion of visible warnings on their products if needed.

Later on, some products marketted as 'healthy' or similar, ended up having a few warnings.

I personally think it's important so we have clear information on what we are consuming, given it's well implemented and enforced. Granted that diets vary from person to person, but baseline information is always useful.

My 2 cents, on this.

@goaty

We have an expression around here: One has been "Alton Browned" when one has been exposed to some media presentation or conversation about a particular food item, and within a week that food item is created or purchased and consumed.

It's a susceptibility to suggestion that leads to eating.

More broadly, I think I would like to see obligate metadata on all posts. It could be done automatically by word frequencies or vocabulary, or even as a by-product high level semantic compression.

@goaty

I'm in recovery from an eating disorder which I had decades ago, and I find content warnings on food annoying.

@goaty

It’s an interesting take but eating disorders aren’t the only reason to CW food. You’ve also got people who struggle to feed themselves who really are harmed by those pictures of fancy means etc. (that’s just the first one I thought of)
