Why are the feds interested in hiding what country our food came from?

They're not.

They have removed the requirement that these meats be labeled as such. They can still be labeled but Uncle Sam cannot compel the labels to be used.

To leave the law in place would have resulted in huge tariffs on American goods entering Canada and Mexico. I'm all for less Gubmint regulation.

A tariff is government regulation/

So you are a proponent of foreign governments regulating us, rather than the US.

OK.

This country can’t fight a trade war in it’s weakened condition.

If the American food producers are smart, they will continue to voluntarily label their products' country of origin and/or production as "AMERICAN."

This could be turned into a great marketing opportunity with the Amercan congressional "lemon" made into "lemonade."
