I know of nothing that makes me angrier than having the Goverment step in to regulate against information.
It really makes me wonder where this is all going to end - even the most inconsequential problems are being codified. As an example, they are introducing legislation in California to make it illegal to drive with your dog in your lap - can they really believe it possible to legislate against all manifestations of lack of intelligence?? - do they have data on pooch-in-lap-caused accidents?
What set me off this time is far more serious, however - Monsanto (incredibly rich makers of recombinant bovine growth hormone) feels that it is UNFAIR to label milk that is not hormone laced, hormone free - why? Because it may suggest that the hormone free milk is in some way BETTER. We certainly feel that it is better, but that is not the point: we have the right to know!
Citizens for Health has more information about this attempt to flummox us, together with a little reward (for those of us who eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream) for doing the right thing.
