Closed Enforce food companies to increase the accuracy of their food labels

Closed on

It is common for companies to manipulate the details on their food labels. This makes the food seem healthier and then we consequently buy and eat this food.
This can lead to us eating food which is actually a lot worse for us than we think. This is also an issue because it can contribute to the development of health, body image and eating problems.
For example, anybody could develop diabetes through not being aware of the amount of sugar they are eating.
