Yes, common sense is in short supply on this thread. So is a basic understanding of chemistry and human nutrition. Your fear of chemicals would be lessened if you would take a basic course in nutrition. It might also temper your anti-capitalist tirades. Or not.
OK when capitalism returns to the USA, let’s talk. I don’t see much capitalism like in the old days, when investors (capitalists) took risks and if it succeeded they were rewarded.
Today we have mega global corporations and banks with zero USA allegiance, and that generally despise the idea of American sovereignty. It gets in their way. They like to buy off crony politicians who then put the taxpayers on the hook for corporate incompetence, or they write a tax loophole. That’s where the term crony capitalist originated.
The only capitalists that remain as true capitalists are the smaller businesses. Big business does nothing unless crooked pols arrange for taxpayers to subsidize it one way or another. You do remember the great bailout?
Crony Corporatism is not conservatism.
I’m a believer in free markets where the consumer decides what they want based totally upon their whims, and not some Madison Ave marketing propagandist.
Sorry about the long-winded reply. Sometimes debates are like that. I don’t understand how anyone could claim that the public and consumers shouldn’t have the right to know what is in stuff that they or their children eat. Sounds more like the Jonathan Gruber rationale for Obama Care who tells us the public is too stupid to understand. I can understand why Monsanto and others want us kept clueless because we may not like what they sell us, and that is our right.
