GDPR is good, just needs reinforcement. The way things like the nutrition score are done is just bad so.

How is the nutri-score flawed?
I looked at the rules and it seemed like a really good idea.
I even got the impression, products got changed for the better in the last year to get a higher nutri-score.

It's based on product category, so you can see an A milk next to a (in absolute terms better) C oatmilk, etc...

There's a reason mammals feed their infants milk, not oats. Milk is strictly more nutritious.
Inefficient to produce, sure. Destroying the environment, yeah. Cruel to animals, definitely. Unnecessary, yes. These should be reflected in the price, not nutritional labels.

I knew this, but I didn't know how dumb some of these categories are.
Thanks!

The idea is good, it just got water down too much. On top of that, there are German laws dictating a certain minimum sugar content for certain products to be called mustard or marmalade for example, or lemonade. Which kind of screwed up if you ask me. But that is more of a national thing.
The EU has enacted GDPR, 178/2002/EC (food safety), 44/1999/EC (consumer protection), any number of consumer protection Regulations and Directives.
