        That may be correct, but does it follow that an assertion of
chemical fact, the simple statement 'fat-free', must be legally counted as
a health claim?
        If the label said not only 'fat-free' but also some claim such as
'and will therefore decrease your chances of a heart attack', then I'd
expect officialdom to clamp down   . . .
