How on earth can we expect to instill a long term improvement to people's lifestyles and diets and health, when so much can make its way into the food we eat with no clear scientific measurement of long term impact?

Don't you know that regulation, including labelling requirements, makes our businesses uncompetitive and creates unemployment?

Well, we can always choose to opt out and live like hairy hippies in the country and know what we're eating.

But, if we do that, we won't get Guaranteed Paid Employment™ and we won't be able to buy lots of cool stuff.

Moral: if we want to earn money to buy cool stuff, we should just keep on swallowing what they put on the supermarket shelves and shut up about it.
