WA Ping I support labels that tell us whats in our food. But, I don't support this idea.
The thing that bothers me is the slippery slope created by environmental radicals when they make laws for us. If this passes we will be the only state with such a law and every qualifying product shipped here will have to have special labels and special pricing, of course.
How long before this includes dry goods and leads to things like banning leather or other substances? I do not trust a partisan legislature and their ability to expand and alter laws in the dark of night. I think this initiative has been promoted under false premise.
Hey, welcome back, Baynative!
Been a while since I got one of your Washington state updates.
Even though I live here, you often find state news I have not heard about.
By the way, for those who don't know, Washington state also has a very IMMEDIATE food problem!
Most of our major grocery chains are unionized, and a strike has been called for TODAY at 7PM.
The Teamsters have agreed to not cross the picket lines.
They will drive their trucks to the stores, but park in the street.
Non-union drivers will have to back into the loading docks and non-union labor will have to unload the trucks.
Looks like I'll be eating all those canned goods I stored away for the long delayed Seattle EARTHQUAKE!
