I would like to know what country my food comes from. It seems that our food supply is increasingly being brought in from other countries. I don’t know how other countries inspect their food products but I have grown accustomed to our system until recently. It seems that we as a country have done pretty well but as expected with the Bush administration the number of inspectors for our food products has dwindled and our safety has suffered.
However even with the reduction of our own quality of food I would still like to know what country my food comes from. I can then make my own determination as to whether or not I would like to consume that food. With all of the republican rhetoric about more choices gives the consumer a better deal, I would like this to be one of my choices.
I know it is a pain to have to label the food with the country of origin but I don’t think it is an overwhelming obstacle.
