That's the claim, but it is not a fact. What the USDA assures is that the producers have gone through the USDA hoops, and nothing more, and if you have ever qualified a product with them as I have, you'd really understand the distinction.
Worse, there is nothing in Article I Section 8 that empowers the Congress to assume that police power.
If you want unmodified products you should shop at a natural foods market and spare the rest of us the expense of your purchasing decisions.
He wants the service but doesn't want to pay for that extra cost, typical of the nanny state liberal he claims not to be.
You’re posting such a mish mash of nonsense that it’s comical. You can’t see, or refuse to see, that the government intervention in the free market has already taken place. It took place, and often takes place, when producers of consumer products go to DC and buy and pay for enough representatives and senators to avoid reasonable labeling requirements about the products they sell.
You’ve gone off on all sorts of irrelevant tangents when all that is required is a simple disclosure about how food products were produced. We’re not talking about car paint formulations, but mostly about whether the corn used to make the tortilla chips was GMO or not.
Producers spend millions lobbying to escape any labeling requirement they think might cause some group of consumers to refrain from buying their products. That goes on all the time and this is just one of the more recent examples. The Big Government, Big Brother intervention in the free market has already taken place, and in this case it was an intervention to deny consumers perfectly reasonable information about products offered for sale.
And, yes, food producers know whether they are using GMO ingredients in foods that contain many ingredients.
Nothing could be simpler: put the simple disclosure on foods and let the consumers decide what they want to purchase. It’s called freedom. What you want is Big Brother style government intervention in the free market, which has already taken place where GMO foods are concerned.
And, no how much you dissemble and deny, perfect knowledge as to product and price are requirements of a free market.
And disclosures about paint formulations are probably available at some point in the distribution chain.
