> “In a food world where labeling leaves a lot to be desired and has been subject to much politics, for the government to introduce a ‘not for EU’ is frankly stupid,” Tim Lang, a professor emeritus of food policy at City University of London, said.
Then perhaps Tim Lang, professor emeritus should have raised this "stupid" move some years ago, when it was announced.
- rcxdude 3y agowhat makes you think he didn't?
- rasz 3y agoThe funny thing is its not UK gov doing this, its UK gov reluctantly agreeing to it while being reamed by EU. Labels of no exports.
- phoe-krk 3y agoHe did.

Have you done any basic research or even bare-minimum Googling before making a comment?
- yorwba 3y agoThose links seem to be about the impact of Brexit on food policy in general, not this label in particular.
- phoe-krk 3y agoFrom the little bit of reading-between-the-lines in these, I assume that the author has been critical of Brexit with regard to UK national food issues; this aligns with the explicit "stupid" label made in this post.
- ghusto 3y agoYeah a little. Have you read any of the articles you just posted? None of them mention the label.
