| Message | We agree that some sort of food labeling should be in place, but who is to decide what is "easily understood"? Does a list of ingredients that includes some 14-letter word qualify? We'd support having food labeling somewhere, but "easily understood" is a bit vague and opens the door for more lawsuits. |
| Date | 16:51:39, June 29, 2006 CET | From | Citizens For A Progressive Jakania | To | Debating the Food Labeling Act |
| Message | We would rather a more clearly worded position as well, however we feel the proposal is nonetheless a considerable improvement and are supporting it on that basis. |
