Grapes country of origin please.....looks like they left it out. Can you say Mexico??
The Country of Origin Labeling Amendments Act of 2015 would repeal the requirement for meat products to be labeled with their country of origin. Currently meat products must include information on where the animal was bred, raised, and slaughtered. The Canadian government filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) to remove the labeling as a violation of trade agreements. The WTO approved the Canadian complaint on the grounds that the United States labeling policy discriminates against meat products from border countries. The bill passed the House with a vote of 300-131. Only 10 Republicans voted nay while 66 Democrats voted yea. The bill will move on to the Senate.
My a-hole Republican congresscritter is very proud that he is a cosponsor of this bill.
Now I am all for free trade, but I am more all for consumers being able to make informed choices in the products that they purchase. It's half of how the free market works.
If you bring shit to the market and try and sell it as ice cream, the buyers are going to get wise to it, eventually. Pulling Country of Origin labeling off of product just helps the shit look, taste, and have the "mouth feel" of ice cream. Still, it's shit.
I don't mean to bash Canadian cattlemen... but how much Chinese chicken is flooding the market... even though it is unfit to feed my kitties?
