I'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

- 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.
