The food worm turns....

Looks like the shyster lawyers we all decry are on the hunt for a new
target to fill their greedy pockets. Guess who! The dirtbag food
corporations that have been scamming us for decades.

While I'm no fan of mercenary legal beagles, it's about time SOMEONE
called these food charlatans on their crap. Lord knows the govt
regulators, who's job it is to look out for our safety, aren't gonna
do a DAMN THING! The ex food-corp goons who now inhabit our govt
regulatory agencies are too busy raking in hush money from the slimey
agrbiz lobbyists to actually regulate anything in our favor.

Sic 'em shyster lawyers!! Sue the slimey sonsabitches till they
bleed green. ;)

Heh - I noticed Cherry 7-Up has a great big ANTIOXIDANT label on the
package. They really do market to fools.

Of course, but that would assume that "regulators" exist for the good of
the public. The typical deal is that "regulators" no matter if the
industry is food or banking or whatever just rotate between the private
and public sectors. And in the meantime the politicians have everyone
from the blue and red teams fighting when in reality the "regulators"
are appointed by and serve both teams.

It will never happen as long as the politicians can distract everyone
with the red vs blue team stuff. We truly have the best government that
money can buy.

Maybe, but maybe not. What is wrong with the propellant in Pam? It
dissipates. In the end, the lawyers are taking OUR money, not the
big corporations.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the $$$. I'm paying more for
organic, anyway. I wanna see some truth in lableing, particularly GMO
labeling. Also, perhaps it will kill the dilution/corruption of
organic standards/labeling the agribizes are pushing for.

Yes, I know it's jes a money grab by lawers, but perhaps the consumer
will see some bennies in the fallout. We the consumers are the real
power. If you don't DEMAND truth in labeling, we will never get it.
Think of cigarettes and smoking. Yes, the shysters hurt the tobacco
lobby, financially, but it was the people who created the eventual
stigma attached to smoking and made it socially unpopular to smoke.

Which reminds me. What's with the return of ppl smoking in TV
programs and movies, again? WTF is that all about? Looks like big
tobacco is fighting back. Time fer folks to man the barricades,
again.
