@feld I think certain companies would have to ramp up production of cleaner products in order to meet that demand, which takes time...I will say that the overly lax amount of time given to meet this demand lends credence to your explanation. However, I think demanding instant change is still wrong.

I will say that the fact we're having this conversation is a sure sign that this legislation is long overdue. Lots of food companies are overly reliant on the stuff, ink should've hit paper on this a decade ago.
