@unclegeorge – you have a point about secondary health impacts. But wouldn’t that be a stronger argument for pesticide labeling, to address that issue directly? Or even “Roundup Ready” labelling? On the flip side, the nice thing about certification labels like Australian Certified Organic is that you can go and look them up to find out just what their process is and what it means.
CHOICE will always fight for better, clearer labelling for any issue that effects consumers. We believe strongly in the right of consumers to make up their own minds. There are some commenters above who point out that people may make poor decisions if they’re poorly informed – but for me that’s an argument for more information, not less.
I’d like to talk more about clarity in product labelling and responses like CluckAR but it’s going off topic, so I’ll reply as new topic to this one to start it off in a new thread.
