    The article seems to be shifting the blame onto the companies doing this, not the decades of governments that have allowed these companies to change the rules to their liking.

      This isn’t new behaviour and isn’t specific to current government policy or regulations.

      Part of the problem stems from jurisdictional issues. For example, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency can dictate some things one the federal level, while most provinces have control of Health (where food safety also often falls). So the regulations are a tangled mess to navigate even if you’re doing it in good faith. If you’re looking at the regulations from the perspective of a lawyer, you’ll find so many contributions, grey areas, etc., that you figure you can argue anything in court if needed.

      Like a cereal being classified as a meal replacement to fall into different labelling laws…
