Are you talking about improper labling etc?

Funny thing is a lot has to do with products from Kellog Vector etc.

if you are talking about bannings - I would say they are going to go after everything short of protein powders. it's all about PR and the public's perception.

no i heard last night on the news that there saying a bunch of different proteins ie,bars and other supplements are not good for us and have next to no nutritional value to them

I would have to agree with them on that.
As to the labelling on some products, I know of a brand of weight gainer, in the health food store across the road from me, which has a nutritional value label that sounds so good. But if you really look at it and do the math, the full serving caloric value comes in at around 9000 calories. It's so wrong.

I think if they are going to clean up the industry it should be to make the manufacturer's actual back up the claims of the product they are trying to sell. If you pick up any supplement container you will always see the word 'MAY' ... as in may reduce body fat, may increase lean muscle tissue, may reduce the size of your wallet, etc. It's to the point now were a posting by someone on EF carries more weight than the actual PR of some manufacturer ... and that's good, in my opinion.
