> Customer Sues USDA over Policy Preventing Nutritional Claims Of New Fad Diet

Should be the title but apparently the article is from the law firm who is representing the plaintiffs. Didn't know what FODMAPs were before this article and the subsequent wikipedia'ing, but it gives me Keto vibes. Something that is medically beneficial for very specific purpose and now a group of people are trying to push it to something more general.

A small excerpt from wiki that I thought was interesting:

> It should only be used for short periods and under the advice of a specialist

Pretty sure that's how everyone who will apply this concept will use it /s


Food is allowed to be labeled at Paleo Friendly and Keto Compliant, so why not "Low FODMAP"?

I do think the title is clickbait though.

I guess "Customer Sues USDA to allow Low FODMAP foods to be labeled as such" doesn't quite have the same zest to it.
