I despise the labeling around "Natural" and "Artificial" Colours|Flavours|etc. It's downright misleading to call one highly processed compound natural, while calling another equally processed compound artificial. I absolutely do not care what the feedstocks used were, I care about what the final product is.

On that note, I wish that food companies were forced to disclose which "flavours" they added to their products. Some of the artificial flavourings are the exact same compounds as natural ones (vanilla, cherry, and cinnamon are I'm pretty sure, they're just one isolated compound of many), and some of them absolutely are not. It would be really nice to know what I'm actually putting into my body, especially since so many flavourings are added to "natural" products like tea.

Does that kind of labeling exist in any country? I've never seen it on imported goods I don't think.
