An end to the delays

Here is a link to The New York Times editorial of yesterday about country of origin labeling.

The final graph:

If there are elements of the original law that are unnecessarily onerous and costly, these can be modified during the legislative process or during administrative rule-making to implement the law. But there should be no compromise of the basic principle that consumers have a right to know where their food comes from before popping it into their mouths.


TK: If produce industry lobbyists can get a replacement, voluntary COOL program in the farm bill this year, a year when the Democrats are in control and China's imports have created momentum for mandatory labeling, they deserve a million dollar bonus. It will be tough.
