Seriously, the opposition to putting basic information on food so the *free market* can work is just whining.
Heck, I'd like to see cattle tracked from farm to table individually as well (cue more whining, sorry my family runs cattle and they think its insane not to track cattle)  |

Thanks for the answers.
The last nagging issue bout this is that they exempted meat and diary from the labels, but I suppose some labels are better than no labels.
