This is a perfect example of the influence lobby and collusion w govt and how it plays out... not citizens untied.
Who here doesn't think we deserve to know exactly what we consume? This same scenario plays out politically every day. From military contacts to the FDA and every other stinking abc govt agency. Remember the corrupt inspectors that were supposed to be protecting us from oil catastrophes? No I guess not... because everytime govt is exposed as incompetent... the solution is always more govt and more govt controls. When exactly are we going to turn around and fix what goes on in govt? The govt allows the access that enables the corruption... when will the responsibility fall on govt? Make it illegal for a politician to peddle influence via govt power... the lobby can make their case publicly and the public can weigh in... total transparency. The power of politicians/bureaucrats/govt shifts immediately.
Ok... I'm done... lol.
