“I don't like that the government is going to manipulate the information to try to convince me that what I'm eating is not what I'm really eating. If people choose to eat cardboard because it's ten cents cheaper, then let them. That's at the root of freedom. But in the reverse, I'd like to know if what I'm eating or consuming or buying is somehow hurting or exploiting someone in another part of the planet.” PeopleIfsKnowsTryingGovernmentHurtInformationPlanetsTenEatingRootsBuyingConvinceCentsReverseManipulateConsumingCheaper Author:Billy Corgan
