Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Democratic Party of Darnussia
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2137
Description[?]:
| The Consumer should and must have the information to know what is in what they are buying, so they can make a better and more educated choice in what they want to buy. And before any one on the loony right starts talking there usually rubbish, How can they know what is in the packaging if it doesn't say? They will not put in on if they are not told too, since then they can use cheaper and less safe produce in there food, to get more profit! This will ensure that the public are safe and that the consumers do have the right to choose and the information to make that educated choice from. Also some people may object to eating certain things because of there beliefs, be them religious or otherwise, we must allow them to respect that |

| Message | "They will not put in on if they are not told too, since then they can use cheaper and less safe produce in there food, to get more profit!" And then a company will be made that lists everything on their packets, and calls themselves "Trustworthy Food Co.", and then people will buy from them. Then other companies actually lose money rather than gain money, and label their food too. |
