Meaningless information doesn't help the consumer. A notice that food may have been processed on equipment that may have processed wheat, eggs, or peanuts is pretty darn useless, but it's on the label.

The information is very useful. Free citizens can exercise their free choice and use their own best judgment about what they should or shouldn't eat. Government's past involvement in interpreting junk science and turning it into public policy (that Big Food used as marketing pitches for 50 years) that proved to be mostly wrong is reason enough for consumers to have the information themselves, and decide whether or not it is relevant to them.

Big Food and Big Government need to stop deciding what consumers need to know and just give them the product information, including GMO and country of origin.

It's just amazing how so many "conservatives" want Big Brother government deciding what people should be allowed to know on this issue, or any issue for that matter.
