At least we know what we are eating. But you will not a complete idea what it is since some of them will be just listed as just colour and we don't know what they people are using.

Thanks for the link for the ethical and humane production of food study, I would have gone to the original but 40 dollars is nuts.

But if beef is cloned, I believe that should be required on the label. And there are any number of other disclosures I think should be required. The whole idea that we only need to know if something has been done to or is in our food when it has been proven that the "something" causes harm is ludicrous.

I studied the FDA a bit in law school, and the current labeling requirements are a nutty mess. I'm not convinced that more labeling requirements is the way to go. Maybe that would provide more consumer information, but do people really know what all the label info means now? And wouldn't more info likely just be information overload?
