I am vegetarian and now I can't even tell if a certain food corresponds to my religious and philisophical beliefs. this gov. claims to be into giving people an informed choice, and yet here is yet one more gross example of keeping us in the dark. but i guess this email doesn't matter. it won't get to anyone important. why? because I know that the same guys who decide what needs to be on a label own stock in the very same chemical companies they claim to regulate. i guess i can just wait patiently as the fda slowly gets dismantled and each chair member/ceo on the fda gets sued for what they did to us! alien
