    Europe is moving towards a ban on misleading claims about food. The idea is
    to give all claims true meaning to the consumers. This means that claims
    such as 'strengthens the immune system' or '90% fat free!' will be banned as
    the former means nothing and the latter is misleading since 10% fat is still
    quite high on fat.

    Can't you see?
    It all makes perfect sense,
    expressed in dollars and cents, pounds, shillings and pence

  2. Or maybe bottled water which is 'bottled at source'
    i.e. tap water.

    Yeah. The Dutch consumers association tested 29 (or so) restaurants where
    they serve mineral water without a bottle. They found 15 cases where they
    served tap water mixed with some carbondioxide.... . Whne in theNetherlands,
    ask for a bottle! :-(
