ITS NOT ENOUGH THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF INSURANCE AND BUSINESSES ARE CRIPPLED BY THIS OBAMASCARE–NOW THE REACH IS EVEN DEEPER AS THE CONTROL FREAKS LAWS OF THE PPACCA WILL REGULATE NOW HOT DOGS FROM GAS STATIONS

Hankering for a gas station hot dog? If you knew what was in it, you might lose your appetite.

That’s the idea behind a little known facet of the Obama Administration’s Affordable Care Act. Exact requirements are still beng hashed out by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but many gas station owners will soon be required to post calorie counts and other health data for the hot dogs, nachos and other junk food sweating under heat lamps near their cash registers.

The intent is to give customers more information so they can make healthier food choices, according to the FDA. But to franchise owners who run gas station stores under brand names including Exxon and Shell, the whole notion reeks of government overreach.

Convenience store owners are fretting about the new healthcare law because they often make a higher margin selling food than they take in for fuel.

The overall convenience store industry could pay between $11 million and nearly $61 million to comply with the new rules, according to the FDA’s estimates.
