It would be good if everyone remembered that all of this was the idea of the US back in the 1980s, thrust on a world that basically wanted no part of, through threats of being left on the outside of any trade regime. This labeling requirement is based on the (false) assumption that 'foreign' food is not as good as "American" food and that consumers will know this instinctively and stay away from such labeled food. It is in fact a disguised barrier to trade. The quality of what most Americans eat, with its additives and preservatives and fat and sugar and salt and added aromas is far below what people in other countries at a similar level of development would even think of putting on their tables. If people really cared about consumer protection and health, they would put their efforts into labeling GMOS, but that, it seems is impossible given the power of the same corporations that brought us WTO in the first place (TRIPs, for example was written by 12 pharmaceutical executives, and we all know that Monsanto has taken such control of the government from the inside that they don't even need lobbies anymore). I'm not in favor of much that WTO does (TRIPS is an abomination, for example), but it is all an American baby, so please don't play the victim here. You are falling into a (not even clever) trap - blame the foreigner. Wake up and smell the manipulation.

Where did you get that percentage? Is that the same 99% of people who won't post this as their status on Facebook?
