Right to be Informed
As a consumer, I want and should have the right to know what I'm paying for. If I'm buying ground beef, I expect to get ground beef and not a bunch of other things regardless of safety. Whether this product filler is safe or not, we should know when it and any other ingredient is added to the food we put into our bodies.
As for safety; many of the major food companies have a proven track record of trying to trick consumers, hiding the truth, and adding fillers to foods to increase their profits with complete disregard to their impact on the health of our people. Much of the food in our grocery stores can hardly be called real food when you actually see the staggering amount of artificial compounds that are added. Our food policies in this country had the goal of producing cheap food and that's just what we've gotten. Cheap, unhealthy, chemical-laden food that is no good for humans, animals, or the environment.
One of the single greatest problems in our country is the intertwining of huge corporations and government. I'm sure many people who work for these corporations are well-intentioned, but many of these corporations don't care what kind of harm they do to the public as long as their products keep selling. The comments from food industry leaders in this article clearly show their disdain for their customers and lack of willingness to be truthful with them. Education and transparency is the key to taking back control of our food and, in turn, our health. Let's start with honest labeling of all our foods; not only LFTB but also GMO, types of pesticides used, hidden chemicals, etc.
