A UK politician is pushing for food to be given “eco-labels” as a low-cost but high-impact way to cut the UK’s emissions.

I hope this works out, but based on personal experience, I wouldn't get your hopes up. What I am alluding to, because I'm old enough to remember this, is when food companies were first required to put an ingredients list on the boxes, cans, etc. that food comes in. What was supposed to happen was true transparency, so that we as consumers would really know everything that was in a given food item. But, wasting no time, the food industry, the biggest in the world, sent their lobbyists to Capitol Hill with barrels of money with which to purchase members of Congress and regulators, and as a result, those ingredients lists are a joke. Everyone knows you cannot trust them.
