That's one of the problems with the link, the subject is too broad and she doesn't say at the outset what the ultimate goal should be. So it looks like she's fighting for
safer junk food. She never says outright that fast foods or processed foods are bad for your health, regardless of whether or not they have additives.

If someone were really drawn in and attracted to the subject from the first part of any article, then I would think that they would continue to read and would also start researching more info about it.

I doubt that will happen. It's more likely they will think that Mercola has done the reasearch for them so there's no need for further research.

But I'm not about to debate about labelling or not, or about any of the info. I just thought it was an interesting read and might encourage some people to think about the issue.

Certainly, it has encouraged me to think about the issue and now I'm expressing my thoughts. After all, what good is a discussion board if everyone keeps their thoughts to themselves?
The article, "Dutch Get it Right and Recognize Saturated Fat is Not a Problem," by Mercola, is in itself a problem. Mercola says: "Saturated fats are GOOD for you." It's an open ended statement; it's like saying "salt is GOOD for you." Yes, salt is good for you within the normal daily requirement. It's counterproductive to make these types of wild statements without quantifying what the exact dietary need is for the average person. That's why I suspect that the "meat and dairy" industry is behind it all with their financial support.
Mercola cannot point to any reputable (large) long-term study like the China study, Okinawa study or the Adventist study. Adventists are vegitarians and have a life expectancy of 88 years. I highly doubt that Mercola can produce any study to compare with that.
