Not exactly workable for foods. Any meat or plant contains every chemical that made up what it was made from, plus every contaminant.
- cies 9y agoI'd argue that we need to force producers to provide a means for customers to know ALL willfully added substances and DNA and radiation treatment[1] and stuff that mat leach from the packaging to otherwise natural products. Herbicides, insecticides, wax coatings, preservatives, genetic modifications, gamma/x-rays, DPAs from packaging. Maybe it is all not harmful, and maybe it is... My reasons for this: * We have the right to know. * We cannot (and we do not, hence the organic label) trust our gov't to look out for us. They've succombed to food lobbies over and over. * It will scare people away from trashy foods, drinks and habits like cigarettes [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation
- beaconstudios 9y ago> It will scare people away from trashy foods, drinks and habits like cigarettes I don't think many people smoke or eat fast food nowadays because they're unaware that it is unhealthy. You are attributing a great deal of rationality to human beings when we do all sorts of unhealthy things for a wide range of reasons.
