Shift from Quantity to Quality\nPeople would be more likely to assess food based on what's in it rather than how much energy it has.\n\n2. Highly-processed food loses some of its pull.\nNo more \"low calorie\" or \"guilt-free\" language on junk food.\n\n3. Unintended Consequences\n- Could increase overconsumption of food\n- Could trigger new forms of eating disorders\n- Junk food companies would find ways to obfuscate bad ingredients or make them look healthier than they are (i. e. natural flavors)\n\nSince I've never looked at calories (even when I cut a TON of weight for wrestling), I don't see much use in them. \n\nRemoving them would do more good than bad IMO, but a shift like that would require more education. \n \n\nnostr:note1gz2lq98z2hd0qg4lval847ze9pwcg3glj9z7ztk0rf53c6emgzcqhqcccj"}
