(2) fat and salt there was in one pack.

It changed me in two ways. First, I stopped__(3)__instant noodles. And second, it convinced

me that we needed better labelling here in Hong Kong

That was several years ago. Since then, more and more jurisdictions have adopted labelling

requirements. Hong Kong has been working on it__(4)___ 2002. At first, the proposal was to
