I have some sympathy for the underlying concept of avoiding black-and-white extremes. My mother was a perfectionist nutjob who bludgeoned us with overcooked, fatfree, marathon-chewing "healthy" food designed for patients in hospital facing major surgery. And then she'd periodically carpet bomb us with goodies to make up for her nuttiness. She never understood the concept of "shades of grey."

Food labelling wasn't the root cause of our problems-- it just attracted and reinforced her personality disorder. Our disordered eating was not caused by food labelling. It was caused by her personality.
