Progs Now Turn To Ruining Our Food

[Luddly Neddite]

Pretty soon, we'll only be allowed to eat that Obama Gubmint cheese.

Hey, don't tell Stephanie

She loves the govt cheese she gets with her welfare check.

 

[Rotagilla]

They're already trying to take over our healthcare.
Food and the internet are the next logical steps in totally controlling the populace.
What kind of idiot thinks this is a good idea? ....thats right,liberals.

What kind of idiot thinks that standing against bacteria and chemical food is a good thing?

I dont get the problem except the knee jerk reaction to be against anything because of the messenger.

You sad little sack of silliness. Nobody is standign up against bacteria and chemicals in food. We're against the Government TAKING OVER OUR FOOD SUPPLY and ruining it via Cronyism the way they do with every other market based activity they touch.

I know, but you guys never say what you're for. I dont see any republican talking about chemicals in our food and in fact when someone brings it up republicans are sure to shout them down. Its a defensive defense of chemicals in our foods

pretzel logic and unfounded speculation.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Yep, time to go back to the Caveat Emptor style of food shopping.

Sniff your meat before you buy it, it's your own fault if you get something rotten.

Guess the ingredients in what you're purchasing.

Allergies? Go fuck yourself!

Btw, heavy sarcasm ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Another profoundly stupid Nanny/Police Stater analogy. We have enough Government in our lives. And that's an understatement. So you Nanny/Police Staters can go fuck yourselves.

Yes, because food industries have always done what is best for the consumer and environment.

Why not trust them?

Yeah, you should stop eating. Just to be safe. Problem solved. You're welcome.

I'll take my food that has to meet certain standards of quality, set by a government agency, thank you very much.

There's already standards in place.
What the hell is wrong with you people?

The Progs have ruined health care, energy, housing, student debt and on an on markets. But that's not nearly enough for their Control Freak compulsion. Now they want to take over FOOD.

Al Gore: ‘It’s Time For A National Policy On Food’
And you’ll never guess why! Well, unless you guessed “global warming,” which is what you did the moment you saw Al Gore’s name. He cannot and will not shut up about it. And I, for one, don’t want him to.

(snip)

It took four guys to write this. That means it’s four times as true.


How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans’ well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality and the federal budget. Yet we have no food policy — no plan or agreed-upon principles — for managing American agriculture or the food system as a whole.

That must change.

​

(snip)

​

And what would this “national food policy” entail? I’m glad you asked the question I’m assuming you just asked. The government needs to “invest resources” to make promises about the following:


● All Americans have access to healthful food;


● Farm policies are designed to support our public health and environmental objectives;


● Our food supply is free of toxic bacteria, chemicals and drugs;


● Production and marketing of our food are done transparently;


● The food industry pays a fair wage to those it employs;


● Food marketing sets children up for healthful lives by instilling in them a habit of eating real food;

● Animals are treated with compassion and attention to their well-being;

● The food system’s carbon footprint is reduced, and the amount of carbon sequestered on farmland is increased;

● The food system is sufficiently resilient to withstand the effects of climate change.

See? Simple! Good things are good and bad things are bad, and therefore it’s the role of government to ensure good things and abolish bad things. Everywhere, all the time, whether you like it or not.

And in case you have a problem with any of these common-sense policy items, you can just shut your teabagger trap right now:

Only those with a vested interest in the status quo would argue against creating public policies with these goals.

BOOM.

Al Gore It s Time For A National Policy On Food The Daily Caller


I'm guessing that Gore and Kleiner Perkins have figured out a way to get taxpayer money for FOOD.

We already have all of those things in place that is listed.
The only difference is he wants to Nationalize it. Another big huge government bureaucracy that will cost us big time in taxes.
The Far left progressives will not be happy till they get their full communist government control over everything.

EXACTLY what part of this do you knee jerkers is bad?

As noted above, if a pub had suggested this, you'd be all for it. But, coming from Al Gore, all you can say is you want garbage and you don't want it labeled accurately.

Just one more example of RWs being against their own best interests.

 

[ricechickie]

They don't call it "pink slime" on the label.

You'll know it when you eat it...you'll get a feeling

That's right. It tastes like Freedom!

Instead of the food companies telling you whats in it Pauls answer is to just dont eat.

See? Who said republicans dont come up with the great answers? Why bother those poor companies to tell us what we are putting in our bodies?

Your body is a temple and temples can be full of stuff like...temple stuff

 

[Rotagilla]

I don't need to government to tell me not to eat Pink Slime.

Right. You can tell by looking at a product EXACTLY what is in it, right?

Jesus wept.....

there are laws in place..again..we got this.
you fix finland

It's never enough for loony Nanny/Police Staters. Freedom & Liberty is such a foreign concept to them. It scares them. They desperately need Government telling them how to live. It's a form of 'Stockholm Syndrome.' It's all they know.

[peach174]

We already have labeling standard for food, you pathetic moron.

And where does that info appear on MacDonalds packaging?

Would you say that MOST consumers in Macdonalds know that they are being fed pink slime?

It is the very government that you are supporting that allows that pink slime.

 

[Saigon]

There isnt a bunch of chemicals in your food unless you're eating dog food from china.
Ask yourself this. If farmers and ranchers are loading up your food with chemicals,how long before the FDA comes down on them and closes the doors on em?
Not to mention once word gets out the public will shut them down by not purchasing their goods.

The OP's point in this thread seems to be that not only have you no right to be informed about what is in the food you eat, but that there should be no agency such as the FDA to check on what is being produced.

And you wonder why you end up eating pink slime?

You're right plenty of republicans have advocated for clean chemical and bacteria free foods. Like:

1.

and dont forget

2.

So you're ignorant about what those companies bring to the table? No pun intended.
And since I assume you do,how is the FDA failing you?
