Where do you get off making the assumption that I want the federal government to run everything? And this "corporate fascist" state crap plays real well with the rest of the "No Blood For Oil" crowd. Try it with them.
Might even impress someone.....
HUH, do you really think we would be better off with 50 different sets of rules for food safety? Do you think that would make the food safer (how) or more affordable(how)?
That's nonsense, this is a proper federal issue. This definately deals with interstate commerce and the feds can regulate. It will lead to lower prices. If California and Utah have different labeling standards, then it costs more for the consumer because it costs more for the company to implement both labeling/safety requirements. If your position is that the feds should not be involved, then you also think that feds should not have a say in the labeling of drugs, OTC or otherwise. That is an insane position to hold.
Our state took in lead glazed cups that couldn't be sold in California, thank you very much. The sticker had teeny tiny print, stating such and saying they contain toxic chemicles that cause birth defects and other stuff.
I took them to a cashier and asked about them, and they gave me the phone number of their corporate office if I wanted to ask them questions. The cashier also said that sometimes things labeled that way don't get individual stickers at all. The box will state it on the outside and the consumer never sees the box.
I want consistency. Used to be when kids tested positive for lead poisioning it was because of lead based paint. Well, its on the rise again, but this time it isn't the paint. They are injesting it in other items.
