The bill's supporters argue that consumers deserve the same warnings on supermarket shelves across the country. The bill would allow a state to seek a nationwide warning from FDA.
"We ought to do it in all 50 states," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. "Chicken grown in Louisiana is going to end up on a plate in Michigan."
Rogers mentioned a warning his own state about allergy-causing sulfites: "If they're bad for Michigan citizens, I think they're bad in all of the other 49 states," he said.
Someone needs to explain how this guy gets to this conclusion... "It's bad for you, and my state has a label that says it's bad for you, but this other state doesn't so I'm voting to block the ability of my state to say it's bad for you???" How the hell does that make any sense at all?
