Freedom of choice is the issue here.
It seems as if U.S. Government officials are attempting to obfuscate and confuse the American consumer to placate the special interests of multinational conglomerates over the interests and freedom of choice of the American people. It is of course all about money and power with Government and the lobbyists who buy the loyalty of Government over and ahead of the interests of the taxpayers who fund that very government with their labor. The FDA has spent thousands of millions of our taxpayer dollars to ensure that we know all of the ingredients contained in the food products we purchase in grocery stores. This allows a person to avoid salt, fat, MSG, etcetera when selecting one product over another. The article states that the new labeling procedure would allow an obvious equivocation of the true facts of where and how the product was made.
