Wikipedia, Germans and Food

They holidays make me think of food and lately I have been thinking about Leberkäse.So, just for fun I looked up Leberkäse on Wikipedia and found this gem:

The name "Leberkäse" literally translates to "liver-cheese" even though in Bavaria the dish traditionally contains neither liver nor cheese. [...] According to German food laws, only products called "Bavarian Leberkäse" are allowed not to contain liver; otherwise, there must be a minimum liver content of 4%.

There is something to be said for German efficiency and they Food Purity Laws. Sometimes I think the US could learn a great deal from them, particularly when it comes to additives and preservatives.
