That's a good idea. France does a lot of things right, for all its faults. You can just look through the ingredients yourself, but it's a lot easier for people to just look at a sticker — most people just glance at the calories, which doesn't give them an accurate picture — and companies actively work to make it harder to read, like calling sugar a billion different names.

that too, but i find that it's also important for people who'd be raised with a style of cooking vs another one, to be able to tell the difference between two seemingly healthy meals. Here most people aren't raised to look at calories, it's more good food vs not - heavy greasy vs light. So during celebrations most people are going to buy fatty foods sure or make them, but they're going to pay more attention to the quality of the food not the calories.
