To serve his market, the american consumer, he needs high standards. Most Americans don't realize that products coming in from foreign countries can have lower food safety standards than domestically produced products. They really want best quality agriculural products on their tables.

The problem as you point out, is that the government is interfering in the relationship, not necessarily by setting the bar for quality, but by their participation in a global command and control economy as personified in "free trade" and the WTO.

Hallelujah! Especially the Chinese stuff. The standard there is "will we get caught?" or "is this traceable?". I look at labels and for the sake of my own health, leave that on the shelf.

What was the deal with Not using labels for where the food came from? Why didn't that pass?
