Don’t even dare compare me to a marxist because I think I deserve to know what is in the food I purchase. It’s actually the other way around as I see it, by you telling me I don’t deserve to know, just buy it and shut up. The gov’t already requires ingredients to be listed, the list should be as accurrate as possible and there’s no good reason it can’t be.

O.K., you may not be a Marxist. You do deserve to know what's iin the food that you eat, but there are limits in your right to know and your need to know.

Virtually everything that you eat has a certain level of contamination allowed without penalty. Lert's assume that the grain products that you eat...wheat in your bread, oats in your Cheerios, etc. have an allowable level of vermin (rat do-do, dead bugs, fecal material) present without penalty ( and they do) what do you want to do about it??? It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep you in a sterile environment all your life.

Enjoy yourself, the people who feed you are doing a fantastic job of doing so. Don't worry about what is in a product that you purchase on the open market. The company that sold it to you does not want you th be afraid to eat it...therefore they comply with FAR TOO MANY federal and state regulations to insure that your food is as good as anything on earth!!!

Aahhh, a limit to my rights..... okay then.

We weren’t talking about unavoidable contaminents. Just an honest listing of intentional ingredients is all I ask for.
