Its their right.......right?.

Reese's pieces are rammed with gm crap.

Below is a link to the US code of federal regulations with regard to food labeling. Different countries have different requirements with regard to nomenclature, recommended serving sizes, standards of identity, etc, which is the reason for the sticker. The EU does have a standard for labeling of GMO components and does allow GMO ingredients, particularly glyphosate resistant crop varietals. Regarding Reese's pieces, the hydrogenated vegetable oil, corn syrup, likely the dextrose, soy lecithin and modified cornstarch are from GMO's. The vast majority of corn and soybeans are GMOs, so anything with ingredients derived from these plants will have GMO ingredients. Food companies are required by law to list all ingredients in any food product, although the US lacks a GMO labeling policy. I would argue that inadequate labeling is rather far down the list of problems with the food economy, although I do advocate for full and accurate labeling, including GMOs.
Regarding the state of the EU food system, I applaud the tighter ingredient, GRAS and labeling standards, but it doesn't seem to have done much for the health of the continent. Europe has similar levels of obesity and associated co-morbidities as much of the rest of the developed world.

Cheers,

I don't think obesity can be sorted. Other than actual medical conditions, people choose to be a fat fk. Much like anyone who states they are pretty dumb despite how easily available information is AND not having to search and read books which could take hours finding the right books.

RogueTrooper 2000AD RoyaLBanKof 57	Posted - 2014.05.14 20:06:00 - [19] - Quote Dear Parents, I have received word from Federal Programs Preschool pertaining to lunches from home. Parents are to be informed that students can only bring lunches from home if there is a medical condition requiring a specific diet, along with a physicians note to that regard. I am sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Stephanie [redacted] the Health Coordinator for Federal Programs Preschool at [redacted]. Thanks, Ms. [redacted] Really??????????? As a family, we have made the decision to avoid a host of ingredients that are all found in abundance in school lunches. We donGÇÖt consume: GMOs Pesticides Artificial colors and flavors Preservatives Hormone laden meat and dairy But this week at my daughterGÇÖs school, the offerings are: Corn dog or chicken nuggets, tater tots Beef tostada boat or PB and J on white bread Pepperoni pizza or fish sticks with roll Pretzel sticks with cheese sauce or chicken teriyaki Cheeseburger or breaded chicken patty with seasoned fries There is not one thing on that list that falls into our normal diet. Add a side of rBGH-filled milk and a corn-syrup laden GÇ£fruit cupGÇ¥ and you have a complete nutritional disaster. Why should the parents be required to bear the expense of a doctorGÇÖs visit to get the required note to be allowed to send healthful, homemade lunches for their children? IGÇÖm glad you asked. ItGÇÖs all about profit and control. - See more at: http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/brown-bag-ban-fed-programs-preschool-says-no-lunch-from-home-without-a-doctors-note-10222013#sthash.wJYQfgqt.dpuf Dust.......the most immersive and meaningful mmofps ehever.

Aramis Madrigal SVER True Blood 250	Posted - 2014.05.14 20:26:00 - [25] - Quote I've read about a few cases such as this. Part of the reasoning is the rather well meaning but short sighted desire to remove the stigma of supplementary nutrition programs that provide free lunch to students meeting certain economic requirements. Regarding the content of school lunches, there are problems to address both on the side of the consumer (i.e. the student) as well as the provider (the school). Many young people are acclimated to calorically dense foods that are highly palatable and will reject healthier options that don't taste as good. Moreover, sourcing and preparing healthier options is expensive and more complicated from a logistics and labor standpoint. The school has an interest in maintaining some level of profitability in their lunch program so that free lunches can be subsidized and students will readily purchase food from vending machines if what is provided is not to their liking. These vending machines are present due to contracts with a number of food companies (contract and usage info is actually readily available by a freedom of information request as well as through the US accounting office). I could yammer on about this for pages and I'm up to answer any food related questions anyone may have. Cheers, Aramis MS Food Science, MBS Neuroscience (the chemical senses), (soon to be) PhD Cognitive Science (food choice and the genesis of food preference) My research deals with modifying the early childhood environment to influence food preference, food choice and resultant health outcomes.

Most countries in Europe don't allow homeschooling and almost all of them interfere with parental rights in some form or manner. What is the rationale for any to prohibit *********, but allow alcohol? NYC feels it can tell people how much soda they can buy or sell or how much salt they can put in their food. It is the role of government to control people and they will attempt to control everything if they are allowed to. Donuts also like to control us, for our own good, of course. Just say no to donuts, and tacos. Because, that's why.
