Meat is one of the largest sources of artery-clogging fat in the American diet.
But you'd never know it from a visit to your typical supermarket. Three years later, President Clinton announced that the USDA would do just that. But last January, the department issued a proposal that fell far short of the president's ambitious promise. While that's a step forward, supermarkets would be allowed to stow nutrition information for all other types of meat and poultry in brochures or on charts in the meat department. Those posters and brochures are worthless.
