Good luck getting them to change or support regulations that affect the food they love.

I don't think his plan is to force people into anything. I definitely think education on these topics would be beneficial though. The general population is probably quite oblivious to what they're actually consuming even if they think its harmless. Removing certain ingredients from food is something you can do that benefits people and lets them choose what they want at the same time. A lot of ingredients in American products are banned in other countries. When you look at food products and they have 40 ingredients and only need 5 then there probably is an issue there.
Regulations on production would be similar. Everyone knows organic produce will be healthier than produce that's been sprayed by a crap load of chemicals. Trying to improve that seems like a no brainer and ultimately benefits everyone.
