| Message | Companies should not be required to do anything. it should be up to the consumer to decide wether or not they wish to purchase only products with an ingredients list, and in what detail they expect such labelling to be. Companies providing greater detail are likley to succedd better. Companies would be prevented from printing falsehoods under law already. Goverment should stop interfereing where it is not needed or indeed wanted. |

| Message | The companies at least owe it to their consumers to tell them what is in the product. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
