Corporations hate food labeling laws, and that includes country of origin. They want to fill us up on heavy toxic metals and poison. Greedy evil monsters who don't care if birth defects and cancer go up as long as they make more profits are lobbying our public officials. They will try to either get rid of food labeling, or find loopholes in the law to make you think you are buying one thing, when in fact you are buying another. That includes produce from the United States.
