I appreciate Ms. Gladu's comments, but this is a bill that's focused on children specifically and what is unhealthy food for children. The adult constraints, I'm sure they apply, but there might be other factors as well. I think of the red food dye concerns. I think about maybe something on overly refined flours or starches that may, over time, be determined to cause greater poor health for children than for adults. Staying with this, the “unhealthy food” term, certainly would encompass the detail that you're trying to provide, but as research comes forward, it allows them to move more quickly to the regs. I'll be voting against this amendment for that reason.
