Seems like the only starting point if anything is to come of this.

I just realized that I had kept my own list of amendments up to date as of about a week ago, but now that I have internet back I have fallen out of keeping it updated. Crap.

Food inflation is very costly to fixed incomes and those whose incomes have not risen in a decade. However, I am concerned about the removal of labeling requirements.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I support free markets but some times a free market is better served having a regulation than not having one. For instance, labeling requirements promote standardization and save money for companies that don't have to worry about whether or not they were sold the right stuff. If it is all the same size, grade and quality such forth, I think would standardization in this sense helps to promote the free market by allowing resources to be spent on expansion and not on chasing down the right product or ensuring it meets standards demanded by the said business's customers.
