In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton, the TPP, and Protecting Our Food [View all]Sancho
(9,067 posts)I agree food should be labeled - especially if crossing international boarders. Are American pesticides killing bees? Is Roundup a carcinogen? Have any American cattle gotten mad-cow-diease? Have American corporations (like tobacco companies) sued other countries to prevent warning labels on cigarettes using international trade laws? Have American companies built unsafe factories on other countries that would be illegal here? Have American companies (often with the help and blessing of the US government) raided the natural resources and left a mess?
Is the US only interested in other countries labeling imports, but we don't have to cooperate fairly?
There are problems with the TPP, but maybe the US has it's own issues. At 10 today, the Diane Rehm show on NPR will be discussing TPP I heard.
