House Votes to Remove Country-of-Origin Labels on Meat Sold in U.S. - WSJ

[Chris Meyers]

Yeah well since I'm vegetarian, I can't be bothered. Why the hell would they not want a country of label origin though? It makes no sense.

No. No. No. No. No.

Ditto.

This is so wrong.

I sure as hell would not want to eat any meat that came from say, China.

How do we protest this?

[sholomar]

Shows how much they care about our well being vs lining their own pockets.. why would you even vote on a bill like this at all? Who proposes this nonsense?

This has nothing to do with China. Our border buddies, Canada & Mexico, don't want the labeling and have threated to impose retaliatory tariffs.

We have some local farms that sell meat here. I like the idea and like knowing where my food comes from but it's so expensive. The government is now moving backwards. It's only real function in selling food should be to require accurate labeling. Instead it bans food that threatens its big money friends and removes labels on food that does the same.

The WTO has put pressure on the US about this. There are several questions that are not addressed
such as, will other countries (other than Mexico and Canada) put the same demands on us. Also, will
this include produce (many countries still use DDT)?
