I absolutely disagree. more info is more info. right now, I have very little info to go on about my shopping choices. If a companies feel they have to start making videos about hpw they make their products, then that's another piece of info they give to people. if they want to lie...well, fine, But now I have more info to make my choice. They are also putting out more info to be caught in a lie. >After all the companies' > profits go up if they make rosy videos, the USDA has no stake in the > matter. You don't trust ads on tv either, do you? exactly. If something feels like a TV commercial, then that says a lot about the company. But im not talking about wanting to see advertisements. Id love to see where the products are made. Show me the factories, the farms, the workers, where the ingredients come from. again if they want to lie about this with movie sets and actors, fine. but where do we get this info now? its a crack in the door. I imagine that smaller companies might be more transparent with the videos they would make since they would have smaller budgets.
