Garbage article. There is scientific data and this isn't a restriction. It's an educational label. I don't imagine it will be particularly effective, but it strips no one of any rights. I'd rather see something like what they do on ciggy boxes in Europe with lung cancer photos on the box, but maybe with a picture of an obese depressed kid or something.

People will happily recycle pseudo-science if it confirms their own gross bias.

Have you bothered to actually read the SGs advisory? It's full of high quality citations or what predators lurking on X looking for underage children refer to as pseudo-science.
