[QUOTE="HAY MAKER, post: 437125, member: 723"] Tens of thousands of U.S. farmers and ranchers have gone out of business over the past five years as agricultural imports have soared. Hundreds of tomato growers in Florida, to name just one example, have folded because of cheap imports from Mexico. COOL would give U.S. farmers and ranchers a way to distinguish their products from those coming from other countries. About half of U.S. states already have marketing programs for locally produced foods, including “California Grown” and “Missouri Pride,” capitalizing on consumers’ interest in supporting homegrown products. Surveys consistently show that over 80 percent of Americans want to know where their food comes from. Polls of consumers also show that they don’t trust the meat, grocery, and food processing industries to provide this information voluntarily – in one 2007 poll, 82 percent said they thought COOL should be required, rather than a voluntary guideline. More than 200 farming, ranching, food safety and consumer groups support country-of-origin labeling and have been working together for years to get mandatory COOL established nationwide. I have heard all the BS stories the multinational food giants threaten US citizens and producers with,cheap imports equal cheap food,without imports and illegals, food prices will sky rocket,etc. This is all a smoke screen,by the food giants so can they can keep reaping the enormous profits. Imports need to be labeled and illegals need to be deported,they are both a drain on our system. We need M COOL and we need it now!,let the consumers decide where their food comes from,as a cattle producer M COOL will allow you to identify your product .........good luck [/QUOTE]
