Progs Now Turn To Ruining Our Food

[paulitician]

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.

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

Not eating and drinking solves all your problems. You won't have to worry so much, and we won't have to deal with you Nanny/Police State nutters. It's a Win-Win for all.

Whats funny is the OP says that doing those things will "ruin our food" because chemicals are like seasoning

 

[dilloduck]

So Gore has this big list of what our food policy should be. What is the ultimate purpose of this policy ? Cut to the chase and sum it all up for me.

 

[Rotagilla]

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?

Weak. no one said anything like that.

yes, because government has always been honest and done what is best for the citizens. why not trust them?

The government works for the people. The corporations work for shareholders.

If the corporations can make a bigger profit by taking a few nutritional shortcuts, even to the detriment of the consumer, they have an interest to do so.

And they have voted to end the FDA and/or take away funding and power to control our food quality.

We already have some of the most lax regs among first world countries and they want to make it even worse.

What they want is to line the pockets of the 1% and feed our people worse than pink slime.

And, kids? Let's get them started on their Type II diabetes by the 2nd grade and then home school them to be a stupid as their parents.

So you know about the pink slim yet you continue to eat it?
Sounds like a failure on your part,not the governments. They did after all inform you right?

Well, see there's your mistake. You've been badly misled.

From the OP

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.

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.

So you really believe the gov has your best interest at heart?

So you reactionary RWs really think Monsanto has your best interests at heart?

IS having the King tell us all what where and when to eat progress ?

And let's not forget that regulation will somehow take away parenting rights.

"If I want my kid to eat Drano-laced meat, that's my God-given right!"

At least they have an excuse. The govt just fucks up because they are stupid and grossly inefficient.

Come on people, Obama is good friends with Beyonce and Jay Z and Al Gore invented the Internet. So how can they be wrong about anything? Think people. Think.

Naaah...that'll more than likely get you life in prison or worse.

Nothing because we already have all of that now.
It is the Nationalizing that we don't want.

Sorry, I was responding to dillo's post that parents choose what kids eat, not the government.

How about you telling us the ultimate purpose of a food policy ? Is it to make us all happy? More productive? Better looking ?///

Well, it actually does. You nutters won't have to worry and whine so much, and we won't have to listen to you worry and whine so much. It really is a Win/Win for all involved. Case closed.
