Government Labels

The government has devised labels to let you know what you're buying/eating/feeding the spawn.

However you have to understand what it means and what it doesn't mean, assuming the farmer put the right stickers on them.
It's easy to jump to conclusions, shortcuts to what you want to believe.

For instance my Cheerios box boasts whole grain is the first ingredient on all Cheerios cereals.

51% Whole Grain, 49% recycled cardboard, that meets the requirements.
So does 32% Whole Grain, 29% Mercury, 29% Chlorine, but you don't want to eat it.
I'm not picking on Cheerios, I like 'em.
Caveat Emptor, always.

There's a big difference between "edible" and "won't kill you." They are absolutely not digestible (and cause huge headaches for compositing facilities, too.) If you eat a sticker, you will poop a sticker.

Are those stickers paper, plastic, a composite, something else?

I am now picturing a turd with a banana sticker on the side of it :D :D :D

They're plastic, a special kind called "microthin."

I appreciate that more and more of them are missing glue at one end.

I'll trust anything from the FDA before I trust anything that bypassed it.

Analysis by those who use science have demonstrated then everything in GNC 'bypasses it'. Well, maybe not everything. Honest people noted that 90% of the products sold there do not contain any ingredients on the label. Scams are that easily promoted. Simply view the so many scammed by Brexit.

Same scammers also claim that global warming is not created by human activity.
