The Health Care Bill and The Happy Meal

There are several pages in the 1500's that give HHS the power to require labelling of all manner of food.
Here follows an especially entertaining nugget.


Page 1514:

‘‘(v) MENU VARIABILITY AND COMBINATION MEALS.—The Secretary shall establish by regulation standards for determining and disclosing the nutrient content for standard menu items that come in different flavors, varieties, or combinations, but which are listed as a single menu item, such as soft  drinks, ice cream, pizza, doughnuts, or children’s combination meals, through means determined by the Secretary, including ranges, averages, or other methods.
