I'm not a big music expert, but I know what you are refering to, I just forgot the name.

The main reason the stickers were a big issue is that many stores (Target for example) refused (some still do) to carry stickered albums; that means the government is effectively reducing the marketability of art through censorship. I don't think nutrition labels quite have that distinction.

I don't get it. I know stores that only carry health food, so the nutritional guide has the same effect there that the EC label does for Target. And, don't you think Target can find out on its own what kind of content is in the music? Also, I have seen many CDs have an edited version, so there is a way around it.
The labels help inform parents of what it is their kids are listening to.
