ON MARCH 2nd, the GOP Congress Will Pass Bill Taking Away Right to Know
What's in Your Food -

  The House of Representatives will vote this week
  on a controversial "national food uniformity" labeling law that
  will take away local government and states' power to require food
  safety food labels such as those required in California and other
  states on foods or beverages that are likely to cause cancer,
  birth defects, allergic reactions, or mercury poisoning.

Today - at NOON, ET I am issuing a direct challenge to Bush supporters.
I challenge them on the facts. I challenge them on the issues. I
challenge them to prove that the have even the slightest bit of
information about the people in the Bush administration, their
philosophies, their histories and their conduct.

I will be reading the posts found on the freerepublic.com website. I
will be reading and critiquing the responses to the posts. I will offer
the members of that website a chance to debate me on the issues as I
expose their lack of knowledge and their lemming mentality. I will show
you how these people thrive on mutual group political masturbation. I
will show you how these people have given up on the notion of thinking
for themselves.

Ask around if anyone is for the challenge? I hope they are! Think about it!

I'm all for proper labeling, and just to give another example how the
Republican party and Bush administration want to keep us from knowing
what's in our food, try looking at the labels on imported Asian food
products.  After asking about what appeared to be widely-varying salt
contents between brands of the same item, I learned that most of the
time the information on the nutrition label is fake.  The more I look
at the labels the more I realize the information can't be true,
often listing quantities of zero for sugar or protein that can't
possibly be right considering the ingredients.  So the FDA and USDA
require disclosure of stuff like fat, carbohydrates, protein, and
sodium so we can make informed nutritional choices, then refuse to
enforce those regulations and allow blatantly false nutrition claims
on imported food products.

So I don't think it really matters whether Congress decides to mandate
labeling of toxins or allergens, the regulatory agencies will not
enforce it anyway.
