The government is not responsible for making rules and laws to protect you from yourself. You have the information, you can control what goes in your body. If you think it's a serious health risk, then don't consume it. Pretty simple.

well aware. take a look at King Corn, and Food, Inc. both amazing documentaries on the subject. The incentives, basically comprising of 60% of a farmer's (who grows corn) income was put in place with a historical food bill in the early 70's. It's all been put in place and continued to be protected by gov't officials , and lobbyists that were in execs in the industry. it's a giant stroke fest, and they are literally killing the country in the process of making a dishonest buck.
This is why the food bill needs to re-worked, and most of the bullshit needs to be brought to light and outlawed. I think in the same vein, Anybody at an official level in the gov't should have total financial transparency , so anyone can check and see if they are making profits where they should not be. too much goddam corruption.
