I remember hearing about an area in the St Lawrence River called "Thousand Islands" - between NYS and Ontario. A friend of mine lived in that area for a while. Apparently that's where the dressing was "invented".
That sounds like an "old French" hack. I'm all about the future.
Where are those "thousand islands" anyway?

I clicked thru to the PDF and it's pretty interesting. Unintended consequences, etc.
Old law: You can't call it French Dressing unless it comes from the Champagne region of France, otherwise it's just Sparkling Ketchup.
New law: put ketchup in oil and call it French Dressing. Nobody orders it anyway.

Vinaigrettes, especially, have continued to expand in popularity over the years. Mintel reports that vinaigrette-style dressings are particularly appealing to restaurants because they offer the sweet-and-spicy flavor profiles customers like. The most popular flavor nuances in vinaigrettes this year include garlic, honey, lemon, raspberry and elderberry. You’ll also find more exotic variations like tarragon mustard, andouille sausage, Mandarin orange and endive/bacon.
The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration âis limiting scientific input to the 2020 dietary guidelines, raising concerns among nutrition advocates and independent experts about industry influence over healthy eating recommendations for all Americans.â
According to the story, âFor the first time, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, which oversee the committee giving recommendations for the guidelines, have predetermined the topics that will be addressed. They have narrowed the research that can be used only to studies vetted by agency officials, potentially leaving key studies out of the mix.â
Among past issues that have been considered by federal regulators that apparently will not be on the table this year are âthe consumption of red and processed meat, as well as the dramatic proliferation of ultraprocessed foods, which account for a growing percentage of calories consumed by Americans. Nor will the committee explore appropriate sodium levels for different populations.â
The Post writes that many experts believe that these issues âare among the most critical questions as the nation faces an epidemic of lifestyle diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, obesity and Type 2 diabetes.â
These same issues, of course, also are the ones âthat large food companies find most objectionable because they would probably cast high-sodium, high-sugar, high-saturated fat and highly processed foods in a poor light.â
