Ed is on the road in New York Tuesday, and gave commentary about the World Trade Organization's decision to authorize $1 billion in sanctions if the U.S. Doesn't drop Country of Origin Labeling for meat Products. This is just one of the bad deals involved in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

1. Oh boy. And this is just the beginning.

2. FML

We better start building more hospitals, there are a lot of people come into the ER and end up having food poisoning--more within the last year and a half. I try to inform the patients when I can about the labeling and where some of meat may be coming from. But yeah, this totally sucks.

3. Pro-TPP argument, we've never lost an international case

Surprise.

4. Put US flags on the domestic stuff, let's see if the WTO wants to push that point. (nt)

5. Time to become a vegetarian again!

I'm not eating anything if I don't know where it came from! How about a big fat steak from China fed on toxic feed? NO THANK YOU.

See how lovely the TPP is going to be?

6. You beat me to that!

It just creeps me out, that the source of our foods has to be hidden...can you say Pink Slime or Soylent Green?

7. Eeeew!

I keep wondering where all the Gazillionaires are going to get all their money after they kill the global human population off. Toxic air, toxic water, toxic soil, GMO food, toxic food and a massive climate disaster caused by Climate Change. They're slowly killing us off - where do they expect to get more massive amounts of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ when they're finished with us? What the hell is their grand plan for the human race? It does feel very Soylent Green-y.

I'm not going to be their guinea pig! My food intake is one thing I can personally control. They can keep their toxic meats and GMO salmon! I can easily exist on plants...and they're better for me. And their "country of origin" is on the label.

PEACE
LOVE
