I'm with the GOP on this.
If you want to know where your food is coming from, ask the people that display it.
Here's the bottomline-
The extra labeling translates into higher pricing on your products. It's unnecessary clutter we did perfectly well without before they made it mandatory.
Sorry....I would like to know where the food I ingest comes from. If it's foreign, the companies importing it should have to label it. Everything else we purchase is labeled with country of origin....why should food be any different?
Think for a moment - if a disease entered the States from an imported food product and YOUR family member became deathly ill, would you still want to wonder where the food supply originated?
Sure, we did perfectly well when the majority of foodstuffs originated from our farms and fields and that 1/100th cent would have been well worth the expenditure if it helps CDC to pinpoint and stop a disease originating from Chile, Brazil, Mexico, or China.
