We want to know what we are eating,not wearing,or driving,or sitting on etc.,just what we are eating.

Pissant says putting a label of origin is not government control. I'm not saying ban, promote, regulate or tax anything. I'm saying that just like when I buy a hammer, I want to know it's not a piece of crap from China.

I suppose you think putting ingredient lists on cans of food is a bad idea too. It's not regulation, it's common sense information sharing.

I want to know what I am buying. I want to know how much it weighs, what's in it, where it came from, how much it costs, what brand it is. Those are reasonable things to request when puchasing. That's not even the same as how many calories, fat calories, protein, salt content, etc., this is truth in advertising.
