Bill Maher: China Requires GMO Labeling, But America The Land of The Free Does Not
Bill Maher brought up a great point about GMO labeling. Even China requires GMO labeling, but the United States does not.
Bill Maher was talking about how Americans are outraged by the horse meat scandal, but the majority of us appear not to care about what is really in our food, when he said, Fifty other countries require GMO labeling including most of Europe, Japan, Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, China. Thats right, China. A country that puts Melamine, a chemical fire retardant, in their baby formula. Which sounds irresponsible, but come on, when was the last time you saw a Chinese baby catch on fire? But hey, lets look at the silver lining. Its actually a good thing that Americans dont care what they put in their mouth, because in the future thanks to overpopulation, and over fishing, and global warming, and Chris Christie, were running out of the food we do like to eat.

Yay for smaller government. People will have to die, I'm afraid, before Tea sensibilities die.

Wow, I wish I had his writers to script my commentary. Though I do think he contributes to his cometary too.

But what he said was a dead serious topic...and that is why Maher is one of the great ones in comedy ...at least to me he is.
